DETROIT, MICH. ~ For the first time since 2007, the Detroit Pistons have clinched the top seed in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, bringing home court advantage to Detroit for the postseason. The Pistons earned this feat after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 116-93 on the road Saturday night. Former 76ers forward Tobias Harris led the way for the Pistons, notching 19 points in the victory. Detroit got more good news Monday afternoon, as All-Star guard Cade Cunningham was upgraded to doubtful after suffering a collapsed lung in mid-March.
