Stevens appeases fans with Tacko's home debut

Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens honored a request from his daughter to "give the people what they want" in Friday night's 114-93 victory over the Detroit Pistons.

As Boston continued to expand the lead in the third quarter, some Celtics fans started chanting "We want Tacko!'' -- hoping rookie center Tacko Fall would get some playing time late in a blowout.

They got their wish with 4:31 left in the fourth. Fans roared when Fall got up from the bench and removed his warm-ups, and then entered just the second game of his career. He quickly committed a foul -- although the fans were certain it was a clean block.

Fall finished his home debut with five points and two rebounds.

Stevens said after the game that his daughter, Kinsley, told him of Tacko Fall, "It's time to give the people what they want. And that's all she said."

Fall's NBA debut came earlier this season in a blowout against the Knicks. Even though the Celtics were on the road, Fall had the New York faithful at Madison Square Garden on their feet as well when he checked in.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
