Lower than a 12 months after setting the file for the longest losing streak in a single season in NBA history, the Pistons have flipped the script.
With their 113-98 win over the Nets on Wednesday, Detroit (19-18) improved to above .500 for the primary time in over half a decade. The Pistons final had a successful file once they improved to 32-31 with a win over the Timberwolves on March 6, 2019.
They’d end that season with a 41-41 file and have not been above .500 since. As for January, the Pistons have not been above .500 since they improved to 22-21 with a win over the Raptors on Jan. 17, 2018.
It is value noting that the Pistons’ ongoing sizzling streak hasn’t been an anomaly. J.B. Bickerstaff’s staff has won 10 of its last 13 games, together with 5 straight and eight of the earlier 9. Alongside the best way, it defeated powerhouses such because the Timberwolves, Magic, Knicks and Lakers and gave the Celtics and Bucks all they may deal with in a pair of shut ball video games.
