The Detroit Pistons have transformed from an NBA-record-tying 28-game losing streak two years ago to a 19-5 record and first place in the Eastern Conference this season. Led by Cade Cunningham's MVP-level play and Jalen Duren's breakout performance, the team has tied a franchise record with a 13-game winning streak. Their success stems from retaining a young core and emphasizing elite defense.
