Pistons vs. Heat: Playoffs clinched, still need to win

Though Detroit has clinched a playoff berth with two games left in the regular season, the Pistons should still play to win.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers clinching the top spot in the Eastern Conference last night, whoever finishes the season in the eighth spot will have a tall challenge. Although the Pistons are 2-1 against the Cavaliers this season (with a game against them tomorrow), they still have a chance to overtake the Indiana Pacers for the seventh seed and face the second-seeded Toronto Raptors. Their opponent is in their hands.
