The Pistons are doing really well. J.B. Bickerstaff's team is getting stronger and stronger in the top six of the Eastern Conference and closer to making the playoffs for the first time in several years. Detroit's sitting pretty in the top-6 of the East with a 31-26 record and a 3.0-win handicap over seventh Orlando.
They played their last game yesterday, away against Atlanta. The Pistons really shined in that game, outscoring their opponents 148–143. The best player for the Pistons was their leader, Cade Cunningham, who scored 38 points and had 12 assists. Malik Beasley scored 24 points, and Tim Hardaway had 18.
It's interesting to note that even though Detroit is doing well in the tournament, they're not at the top of the season rankings. The Pistons are only 13th on offense, averaging 113.8 points per game. On defense, Detroit is 14th with an average of 114.0 points per game.
LA Clippers
The Clippers took a break from the championship with a road game—a win over Utah (120-116 [108-108] in overtime) and then came out after the All-Star Weekend break with a road trip. So far, it hasn't been great for Tyronn Lue's team. First, they lost to Milwaukee (110-116), and yesterday they lost to Indiana (111-129).
The Clippers are close to losing a spot in the playoff zone. At the moment, LAC has a record of 31-25, which puts them in sixth place in the Western Conference, but the competition is heating up. Minnesota and Dallas are only 1.0 win behind the Clippers, and Golden State is 1.5 behind.
When it comes to the game's dynamics, the Clippers are doing pretty well with a 108.2 points per game pass defense rating. But on offense, Kawai, Harden, and the rest of the team are only averaging 110.9 points per game.
