The Detroit Pistons finished off their season with a record of 41 wins and 41 losses. Struggling with inconsistent shooting, different rotations, and injuries to key Piston’ players; they managed to scrap their way into the playoffs as the 8th seed to take on the Milwaukee Bucks thanks to Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson‘s improved play during the second half of the season.
They can also thank their defense for saving their behinds in multiple games where their offense was almost non-existent. The Pistons placed themselves as the 12th best defensive rating team in the league.
