The Phoenix Suns are headed to the Western Conference Finals, which should give fans of the Detroit Pistons some hope.
In 2018-19 the Suns weren’t much different from this year’s Pistons. They won just 19 games and were dead last in the West, much like the 20-win Pistons this season.
Last year wasn’t a whole lot better for the Suns, though they did finish 34-39 after an unlikely undefeated run in the Orlando bubble.
This season the Suns won 51 games and are now one series away from the Finals, so how can the Detroit Pistons do the same?
