The Detroit Pistons are fun, entertaining and good.
Damn, it feels good, doesn’t it?
Welcome to our new reality we enter uncharted territory with the current era of Pistons’ basketball — a playoff chase. Detroit currently sits at 33-26 after a 117-97 win over the defending champion Boston Celtics on Wednesday.
They have 23 games remaining and an 4.5-game cushion on the Orlando Magic for the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. That’s notable because the No. 6 seed skips past the NBA’s play-in tournament.
Hanging onto that spot is immensely important for Detroit’s playoff chances.
