The final game at The Palace of Auburn Hills will be more about reminiscing than positioning.
Detroit's home arena since 1988 will host its final game on Monday night when the Pistons face the Washington Wizards. The Pistons (37-43) will move to a new downtown venue, Little Caesars Arena, next season.
Detroit was hopeful of hosting some playoff games for the second season in a row, but a late collapse prevented that from happening. The Pistons lost 10 of 12 games to slide out of the playoff picture, though they won road games at Houston and Memphis over the weekend after they were eliminated.
