Boston or Detroit?

The Boston Celtics are playing game six versus the Detroit Pistons tonight. The game just reached half time, but that's not the story here.

Since the game began earlier, play on the felt has seemingly tightened up. Players can be seen watching the big, flat-screen monitors that are displaying the game at every chance they get. There is a lot of talk about who took what action on the game, and other players are tossing around ideas on various prop bets.

A $10,000 buy-in event, or who knows how much is riding on the basketball game?
