Auburn Hills — Last season, they got a taste.

Now they want more.

The Pistons, who made the playoffs last season after a six-year hiatus, are looking to build off their modest success, but they’re not satisfied with just getting back to the postseason.

Though they were swept by the Cavaliers in the first round, the Pistons have learned from that experience. And after some revamping of the reserves, they’re primed to take a step up in the Eastern Conference.

“We made a lot of progress last year; we made the playoffs and that’s something we needed to do to bridge the gap,” Pistons owner Tom Gores said Monday at media day.
