Many people thought the Celtics would put an end to the Pistons’ winning streak, but they didn’t have answers for them.
Not only did Detroit beat Boston, they beat them by 20 points, and that says something when you’re dethroning champions.
And i thought Celtics are gonna break their WS.
Solid win Pistons! 🙌

Meanwhile, others feel that the years and years of rebuilding are finally paying off.
For many seasons, fans had to sit and wait, hoping that brighter days were ahead for the Pistons.
Those brighter days may have arrived, and there is every reason to believe in this team, especially for the years ahead.
Is Detroit the real deal!? Are they finally back to glory after years of rebuilding.

A lot of people are praising Detroit’s front office because they have invested in building a strong roster around Cade Cunningham.
Beasley is clear proof of that, and it’s obviously working.
During Wednesday’s game, Cunningham posted 21 points and 11 assists, another great game in his strong season.
Turns out surrounding Cade with people actually capable of playing basketball other than Ivey has been an unmitigated success.

There was a time when people thought a few wins were just flukes, but now everyone is buying into Detroit.
They might not be ready to compete for a championship yet, but they are obviously much better than they were last year.
Pistons are on fire! Beasley’s shooting and that young core are turning things around fast—eight straight, including a champs takedown? Detroit’s got something special brewing this season 💪💯

The turnaround in Detroit is remarkable and cannot be ignored.
How much longer will this winning streak continue, and what other big teams can the Pistons take down?
