The Pistons haven’t made things easy along the way, but they have finally gotten to .500 this late in the season since 2019 when Blake Griffin was an All-NBA 3rd teamer. It has been a long time coming for a franchise that has sunken to the lowest lows since that season.
The Pistons are not a perfect team, but they are playing hard and winning games and that is all that you can ask for at this point. They now have a chance to move their four game winning streak up to five against a Nets team that looks drastically different than when they faced off in early-November.
