BOSTON - The Boston Celtics have struggled to finish off teams this season, blowing a 23-point lead against Atlanta one night before wasting an 11-point, fourth-quarter advantage against Detroit on Wednesday.Good thing for them they had overtime to fall back on against the Pistons.Jeff Green scored 32 points, including a 3-pointer as Boston opened overtime with eight straight points, and the Celtics snapped a five-game losing streak by beating Detroit 109-102.Im excited for the guys that they gutted one out when it kind of teeter-tottered toward not going their way, said Celtics coach Brad Stevens, whose team led by 11 with just over three minutes left in regulation. We needed to respond. Im not going to overreact, though. Weve only done it once.The loss was the 10th in a row for Detroit. Greg Monroe scored 15 of his 29 points after the 3:13 mark of the fourth, when the Pistons rallied from an 84-83 deficit.But Detroit never recovered after giving up the first three baskets — including 3-pointers by Jared Sullinger and Green to open the overtime.I dont really believe much in momentum, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said.Andre Drummond had 27 points, 14 rebounds, four steals and five blocked shots, including Greens potential game-winner at the end of regulation, for Detroit.Detroit led by six points in the second quarter and held their last lead in the third at 55-54.Boston opened the fourth quarter with a 10-3 run with Kelly Olynyk scoring seven straight points on a dunk, a 3-pointer and a reverse layup that made it 73-64. He followed that up with a defensive rebound and bounce pass for an assist on Evan Turners basket that gave the Celtics an 11-point lead with 7:25 to play.Thats when Monroe rattled off nine points in a row and, after Green made two free throws, the Pistons forward added another basket to make it 86-84 with less than a minute to play.He just made shot after shot after shot, Stevens said.It was 88-85 when Caron Butler sank a wide-open 3-pointer from the left wing to tie it. The Celtics had a chance to win in regulation when Green drove and attempted a floater from about six feet that Drummond swatted away.The dam got hit but didnt break. Thats the good thing, said Olynyk, who had 20 points and seven rebounds for the Celtics, who had lost six in a row at home and blown double-digit leads on their own floor five times. We played in that overtime well, got some stops when we needed to and hit some big shots.WHATS THE POINTPistons point guard Brandon Jennings had 12 assists and one point on 0-for-11 shooting. Backup D.J. Augustin was 0-for-6. Even one basket in regulation could have made a difference.Theres a lot of ifs. A lot of ifs, Van Gundy said. A lot of things that could have happened and didnt.SHOOTING SLUMPSThe teams combined to miss 121 shots, with the Celtics outshooting Detroit 39.8 per cent to 36.3 per cent. Honestly, when youre shooting 36 per cent, Van Gundy said, you dont have a lot of margin for errors to win games.TIP-INSPistons: Josh Smith fouled out with 6:47 to play.

Koehler outpitched Josh Beckett on Friday night, and the Marlins extended their home winning streak to seven games with a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I just know weve got a good thing going right now," Koehler said. "I dont want to jinx it by saying anything else." The Marlins 13-4 home record is the best in the majors, while their 2-10 road mark is the worst. Theyve outscored opponents 29-10 in the first four games of this homestand. Koehler is 0-2 on the road, but he has won all three of his starts in Miami, where his ERA is 0.90. He limited the Dodgers to three hits in seven scoreless innings. "Its a big team win," he said. "Its good to keep the momentum on our side while were playing at home." Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered on his 29th birthday for the Marlins, who climbed above .500. Garrett Jones had three doubles, scored and drove in a run. Giancarlo Stanton drove in a run with a two-out infield single and leads the NL with 32nd RBIs. That was plenty of support for the surprising Koehler, who began the year with a career record of 5-11, made the rotation as a fifth starter and now has an ERA of 2.41. "He pitched excellent," manager Mike Redmond said. "He was up in the zone a few times and got behind a few hitters, but he seemed to bounce back and did a great job." Beckett (0-1) struck out eight but gave up four runs in 6 2-3 innings. He fell to 0-6 in his past 13 starts and remained winless since the end of the 2012 season, even though his ERA this year is 3.14. Is the victory drought frustrating? "If youve got an arbitration case, yeah," Beckett said. "But Im past that point. I want the team to get the victory. I dont care who gets the win. For me, if the team wins, Im happy." The Dodgers arrived in Miami at 6:30 a.m. after playing for more than 8 hours Thursday at Minnesota to earn their first doubleheader sweep in 122 years, and they looked travel-logged while falling behind 6-0.dddddddddddd "I watched both those games," said Beckett, who flew to Miami a day ahead of his teammates. "I was pretty much the only guy that got any sleep last night. The guys played really hard behind me. It wasnt a perfect situation for them." Saltalamacchia hit his sixth homer in the second inning against Beckett, his former battery mate when both played for the Boston Red Sox. "Obviously, Ive seen Josh a little bit," Saltalamacchia said. "He looked good. I remember him throwing a lot more fastballs when I caught him. Tonight he was mixing his curve in a lot, and it made hitters look off balance." Jones hit a two-out RBI double that deflected off the glove of a retreating Yasiel Puig in right field to make it 2-0 in the fourth. The Marlins scored four times with two out in the seventh, with the first run scoring on a single by Reed Johnson, his fifth pinch hit this season. Christian Yelich followed with an RBI triple, and Stanton and Casey McGehee hit RBI singles. The game was Becketts second against the Marlins, who made him the No. 2 overall pick in the 1999 amateur draft. Los Angeles Dee Gordon had three hits, scored and drove in a run. The major-league stolen-base leader was thrown out for only the second time this year but also stole his 16th base. NOTES: The temperature with the roof closed was 77. It was 45 for the first pitch Thursday when the Dodgers played at Minnesota. ... Dodgers SS Juan Uribe was given the night off. ... Two calls by second-base umpire C.B. Bucknor on steal attempts were overturned by replay reviews. ... Yelich was 14 for 14 in his career on stolen-base attempts before he was thrown out by Miguel Olivo in the first inning. ... Marlins RHP Jacob Turner (shoulder) will pitch for the first time since April 3 when he starts Saturday against Dodgers and Paul Maholm (1-2, 4.74). After the game, Marlins left-hander Dan Jennings was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans.
