The Detroit Pistons are back, baby! They recently just clinched their 13th straight win, matching the league record established by their own championship sides in 1990 and 2004. The Pistons just got a big win over the Indiana Pacers. This win brought their record up to 15-2 for the season, showcasing their miraculous flip from an abysmal start. This extraordinary winning streak reflects an astonishing turnaround. That alludes to the fact that the team began the 2023-24 season with a pathetic 3-36 record.
Two years ago, that’s the amazing challenge the Pistons faced. In the process, they set an NBA record by accumulating 28 losses in a row during one season. In stark contrast to past rosters, this year’s team has been a game-changer led by dominant performances from new and returning stars. Jalen Duren bounced back from his subpar injury-riddled performance to put on a show. He had 17 and 12 versus Pacers to recover. And off the bench, Caris LeVert added a big 19 points, proving just how deep their talent runs.
The rippling effect of the Pistons’ resurgence has now got the franchise neck-and-neck with some of its best, most storied teams. Isiah Thomas, who once helmed the legendary “Bad Boys.” Now, the current crew, led by potential future NBA stars like Jaden Ivey—the consensus top pick in the 2022 draft—are starting to compare with those all-time greats. Adding Ivey has added another positive dynamic to the collective, helping them rise in the Eastern Conference standings as of this writing.
The Pistons’ last win over the Pacers was a 122-117 game. Even with some successes under their belt, players were the first to admit where work could still be done.
“We shouldn’t have allowed them to get back into the game like that,” – Caris LeVert
