AUBURN HILLS. Mich. -- Al Horford got the winning basket, though it was Marcus Smart who made the biggest play.With the game tied at 92, Jae Crowder missed a go-ahead 3-pointer, but Smart came from the corner to tip the ball back at the basket. His shot didnt go in, but it gave Horford time to set himself for the follow shot with 1.3 seconds left that gave the Boston Celtics a 94-92 victory over the Detroit Pistons.The credit goes to Marcus, because that was a championship-level play, Horford said. He crashed the glass hard.Said Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy: We just stood there and watched. They missed and no one moved or blocked out.Isaiah Thomas had 24 points and eight assists for Boston, while Horford added 18 points and 11 rebounds.We didnt call a timeout in the last four minutes, because I just wanted to let them play, Boston coach Brad Stevens said. Our guys were making the right reads and the right plays.Marcus Morris led Detroit with 24 points and Andre Drummond had 20 points and 17 rebounds. The Pistons became the last NBA team to lose at home.The teams traded the lead for most of the fourth quarter, and Kentavious Caldwell Popes 3-pointer -- his first basket of the game -- gave the Pistons an 87-86 lead with 1:54 left. The teams traded dunks, and Thomas hit a layup over Drummond with 1:10 to play to make it 90-89.Caldwell-Pope missed an open 3, making him 1 for 7 on the night, and Drummond fouled Thomas on another drive. He made both free throws with 30.5 seconds left to give the Celtics a three-point lead, but Tobias Harris hit a tying 3-pointer.We were in position to come out of here with a victory, but we let them get off two extra shots, Harris said. Nobody, including myself, turned around to keep someone off the glass.Boston, realizing that Drummond was on the bench, didnt call a timeout and it ended up being the difference in the game.Im kicking myself right now, because if we have Andre on the floor, we get that rebound and were in overtime, Van Gundy said. We had Aron on the floor to run the play that led to our 3-pointer, but when they didnt call a timeout, we couldnt get Andre back out there.The Celtics were 6 of 10 on 3-pointers in the first quarter, including Thomas buzzer-beater, to take a 30-23 lead. Boston led 50-47 at halftime.Detroit got 37 points from its starting frontcourt in the half, but guards Ish Smith and Caldwell-Pope had three points on 1-of-5 shooting. Bostons backcourt of Avery Bradley and Thomas combined for 18 points and nine assists.The Pistons used a 10-0 run to take the lead midway through the third quarter, and still had a 73-71 advantage at quarters end.TIP-INSCeltics: Thomas started the second half with a four-point possession. He hit a free throw after the Pistons were called for a defensive three-second violation, then knocked down his second 3-pointer of the game.Pistons: Stanley Johnson, normally one of the Detroits top bench players, didnt play. Van Gundy said that Johnson will only be used as a backup small forward, and he wasnt needed with Morris and Harris both playing well.DRUMMOND MILESTONEDrummond pulled down his 4,000th career rebound in the third quarter. At 23 years and 101 days, he is the second-youngest player to reach the milestone, trailing only Dwight Howard (22 years, 129 days).CELTICS PLAY SMALLStevens wanted to keep a smaller lineup on the floor to try to give Drummond and Baynes matchup problems. Smart played 30:36 while starter Amir Johnson only got 20:22. We were trying to stretch those guys as much as we could, he said. It is hard to do that, because of Morris and Harris, but we thought it went well.UP NEXTCeltics: Travel to Minneapolis to play the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.Pistons: Host the Houston Rockets on Monday.

Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. BOONE, N.C. -- When Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya threw an interception on a goal line that gave briefly gave Appalachian State some life in the third quarter, he didnt panic -- nor did his teammates.In years past we would close in and fold a little bit and maybe guys would point fingers and go back and forth, Kaaya said.Instead, Kaaya led the 25th-ranked Hurricanes on back-to-back touchdown drives as Miami soundly defeated Appalachian State 45-10 in front of a record crowd of 34,658 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Kaaya threw for 368 yards and three scores, Mark Walton ran for 130 yards and two touchdowns as Miami improved to 3-0.Kaaya, who is expected to be one of the top quarterbacks taken in the 2017 NFL draft, took a shot to his leg on the interception and hobbled off. But he returned for the next series and continued to play.He said he will be fine for Miamis next game in two weeks.There is a lot of weight on his shoulders, but he handles it well, Miami coach Mark Richt said.Miami came in having scored a school-record 108 points in its first two games in wins over Florida A&M and Florida Atlantic. The Hurricanes picked up where they left off, scoring on their first four possessions to build a 24-0 lead.Walton set the tone, busting through the middle of the line on Miamis first play from scrimmage and racing 80 yards untouched to the end zone.I saw him break a tackle and I almost immediately put my hands up like, `Touchdown, Kaaya said. The red sea just parted and he just hit it.Kaaya added first quarter TD passes to David Njoku and Stacy Coley.Coley finished with five catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns and Ahmmon Richards had 142 yards receiving on four catches.We have been tackling really well, but we didnt tackle well today, Appalachian State coach Scott Satterfield said. They are big backs, but we have to bring them down.THE TAKEAWAYMIAMI: The Hurricanes did what Tennessee couldnt do in dominating Appalachian State. Some questioned why Miami scheduled a road game against a team notorious for pullling big upsets (ask Michigan) and scaring the life out of others (ask Tennessee).dddddddddddd. Richt said Appalachian States close loss to Tennessee got his teams attention.Everybody knew that it was not a fluke, Richt said. It was physical play. It got our attention. I did not have to say something magical to get them fired up.APPALACHIAN STATE: The Mountaineers came in brimming with confidence after taking then-No. 9 Tennessee to overtime in the season opener and winning 18 of its last 21 games. But they simply couldnt compete with Miamis athletic ability in a humbling loss.Theres a reason why they call them `Power 5 -- Tennessee is really good, Miami is really good, Satterfield said. There is not one player on our team that they wanted.POLL IMPLICATIONSMIAMI: It is possible Miami could make a small jump in the poll with a third straight impressive win. Remember, the Hurricanes beat a good team -- one that that lost 20-13 to the Vols in overtime.KEY NUMBERSMIAMI: Walton came in with back-to-back 100-yard games and needed only three carries to go over that mark against the Mountaineers. He now has seven TDs rushing on the season.APPALACHIAN STATE: QB Taylor Lamb was held to 115 yards passing and completed just 10 of 21 passes with one touchdowns and one interception. He was sacked three times.INJURY REPORTMarcus Cox, the Mountaineers leading rusher, appeared to injure himself at the end of a 55-yard touchdown run that was called back because of a holding penalty in the first half. Cox had seven carries for 30 yards.UP NEXTMIAMI: The Hurricanes are off next weekend before opening ACC play Oct. 1 at Georgia Tech. Miami has won six of its last seven games against the Yellow Jackets.APPALACHIAN STATE: The Mountaineers (1-2) visit Akron next Saturday, their final tuneup before beginning play in the Sun Belt Conference.---AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org .
