November 18th - In today's NBA regular season game, the Pistons easily defeated the Pacers 127-112, achieving a 10-game winning streak and maintaining their top position in the Eastern Conference. This is also the first time the Pistons have achieved a winning streak of 10 or more games since the 2007-08 season.
According to statistics, the Pistons have consistently reached at least the Eastern Conference Finals in seasons where they achieved 10+ winning streaks. In the 1989-90 season, the Pistons achieved a 12-game winning streak and a franchise-record-breaking 13-game winning streak, defeating the Trail Blazers 4-1 in the Finals to win their second consecutive championship. In the 2003-04 season, they again tied their franchise-record-breaking 13-game winning streak, reaching the Finals and defeating the Lakers, who boasted the "F4" that year, 4-1 to win their third championship.
From 2005 to 2008, the Pistons achieved 11-game winning streaks each season, and even an additional 10-game streak in the 2007-08 season. However, in all three seasons, the Pistons were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals: in 2005-06, they were eliminated 4-2 by the eventual champion Heat; in 2006-07, they were eliminated 4-2 by LeBron James' Cavaliers; and in 2007-08, they again lost 4-2 to the Celtics with their Big Three.
Now, after 18 years, they have achieved a 10+ game winning streak again. Can the Pistons' young team continue this interesting record? This makes fans even more eager to see their performance this season.
