The Detroit Pistons have successfully completed a major turnaround this NBA season, finishing with a 44-38 record.
The Pistons faced the embarrassment of experiencing the longest single-season losing streak in NBA history and held the worst record for two consecutive years.
In response, team owner Tom Gores made a series of strategic moves less than a year ago to reverse the team’s fortunes.
Among these changes was the decision to release coach Monty Williams, a move that cost Gores $65 million.
Cade Cunningham led the Pistons throughout the season, significantly contributing to their improved performance.
This season’s record marks a notable improvement from the previous year, where the Pistons won only 14 games.
The Pistons’ transformation has surprised many in the league, showcasing a remarkable recovery from their recent struggles.
