The Pistons have won eight straight games for the first time since 2017. At 33-26 they’ve climbed from 11th place two months ago to sixth place – firmly into a playoff spot and even into contention for home-court advantage with one of the best runs in the NBA since late December.

The Pistons are on a roll. Behind a 26-point night from guard Malik Beasley, Detroit took down the defending champion Boston Celtics 117-97 on Tuesday night —and has now won eight straight games. It's the first time they've accomplished this feat since the 2007-08 season.

The Detroit Pistons are nearing a milestone they haven’t reached in almost two decades. The team is riding a seven-game winning streak —their longest since the championship-contending days of the early 2000s.
