What happened: Detroit opened the season against Boston with a 22-point comeback victory. The fourth quarter included a 23-0 run in under five minutes. Jalen Duren finished with 22 points and 9 rebounds and called the rally a reflection of a gritty culture.

Why it matters: The rally gives Detroit a 1-0 start after a 60-win campaign. It also extends Duren's early central role after his Oct. 2 extension.

What to watch: Detroit looks to carry its fourth-quarter defensive execution into the rest of opening week.
