Detroit Pistons clinched a playoff berth after a six-year hiatus, as it's confirmed that they can't be lower than 6th seed.
Detroit Pistons will have a night to remember, as they clinched their playoff berth after beating the Toronto Raptors.
This is the first time for the Pistons to return to the postseason after a six year hiatus.
"It's a big deal for the group. We typically don't take time to reflect on where we are, but this is an opportunity for this group to reflect on where it is, and what it's been able to accomplish together,” JB Bickerstaff stated.
"It's this group as a whole, how they approach every single day with a great spirit and great passion. There is no selfishness among that group. There is not one person in that locker room who's not willing to sacrifice for somebody else,” Bickerstaff explained.
Jalen Duren also shared the perspective from his point of view:
"We put in so much work, we grind, and we learn. Honestly, the first two years to me were just a learning period. A lot of guys we had were still learning the NBA."
"Lots of personnel was still learning each other, and you kind of see the growth in how much better we're understand the game, and it's fun. I'm excited, and we're only getting started," Duren concluded.
