The Boston Celtics got past an old nemesis to set up an NBA finals matchup with another rival - the Los Angeles Lakers.
Paul Pierce scored 27 points, Ray Allen had 17 and Kevin Garnett added 16 to lift Boston to an 89-81 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Boston, which locked up with Detroit many times in the 1980s, will now rekindle another classic series in the NBA finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.
"It's kind of surreal," Garnett said.
The Celtics are in the NBA finals for the first since losing to the Lakers in 1987, the third meeting in a four-year span.
The Pistons were eliminated on their home court for the first time during a six-year run that included a trip to the conference finals each year and the 2004 title.
Boston entered the series without a road win in the postseason, then beat Detroit on its home court twice to win the grueling series.
