Dwane Casey finished the season 41-41 and took the Detroit Pistons to the postseason for the first time since the 2015-16 season. It was their second playoff appearance in the last 10 seasons.
The First Step
Detroit started off the season garnering a lot of media attention. They won their first four games, while Blake Griffin scored his season-high 50 points in an overtime win against the Philadelphia 76ers. There was plenty of attention around Detroit as they had a superstar in Griffin leading them for the first time in a long time.
Griffin is known for being injury prone, however, his Pistons off-season was his first healthy one in three years.
