The Detroit Pistons are experiencing a remarkable turnaround this NBA season, boasting a winning record of 21-19 after their recent victory over the New York Knicks. This marks their first halfway point with a positive record since the 2017-18 season. The team has shown impressive resilience, winning five out of their last six games both at home and on the road, leading the league in wins for January.
Last season, the Pistons endured a historic low, suffering a record 28-game losing streak. This year's squad, under new head coach JB Bickerstaff, initially struggled, starting the season 0-4. However, they've since turned it around, winning 10 of their last 12 games and potentially positioning themselves for a playoff berth.
