Auburn Hills — It’s not over yet, but it’s almost over.
The Pistons’ regular season is coming to an end next week — and their playoff chances are down to one last unlikely possibility.
With five games left, the Pistons (37-40) will have to win all of their remaining games, plus have the Milwaukee Bucks (42-36) lose all four of their games to force a tie with the same records.
Considering the tiebreakers, the two teams split their four-game season series; the second tiebreaker is conference record, which would give the Pistons the edge, as they’d have a 26-26 mark versus the East.
