Throughout the regular NBA season, the team had to show character more than once in order to assert itself or get out of the recession. Thanks to their perseverance, the team qualified for the playoffs, where they continue to struggle.
Detroit took on an unyielding New York and began the series with two away games. The first meeting was dominated by the Knicks (112:123), but in the second match, the wards of J.B. Bickerstaff showed their best and scored a victory (100:94), where Cade Cunningham performed well, scoring 33 points. Unfortunately, the next two home games were unsuccessful, so in the last confrontation, the Pistons threw all their strength forward and somewhat corrected the situation (106:103). Despite this, now the pistons have no room for error.
