DETROIT, MICH. ~ Just two seasons ago, the Detroit Pistons tied an NBA record with 28 losses in a row. Since then, Detroit has completely flipped the script. The Pistons hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference and beat the Brooklyn Nets by 53 points Sunday for the biggest win in franchise history. Detroit Pistons front-house executive Dwayne Casey has played a large part in this growth after serving as the team’s head coach from 2019-2023.
