NBA Eastern Conference playoff race: finish above .500, make the playoffs

I hope you didn’t set that paper bag down too far away. Or that bottle of booze. This team certainly knows how to get their fans’ heart rate up.

After a pair of losses to the Indiana Pacers, the Pistons are in the sprint for the playoff race. They sit at 39 wins, the same mark as the Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic, and just one win more than the Miami Heat.

Those four teams are all chasing after the bottom three playoff spots in the East.
