Pistons radio station 2025: Channels, live streams, schedule to listen to Detroit NBA playoff game broadcasts | Sporting News

The Pistons are back in the postseason for the first time since 2019, when their playoff run was cut short by a first-round sweep at the hands of the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks.

They aren't merely back in the NBA Playoffs they've blown the door open with one of the most sensational turnarounds in recent history.

Having finished at the bottom of the East last year, they've jumped to a 44-38 record, bypassing the Play-In entirely and clinching a good first-round spot.

Their payoff? A gritty No.

No.

Detroit swept three out of four from the Knicks in the regular season, and while New York comes in with the burden of expectations and playoff finesse, the Pistons come in on a roll of momentum and liberation.

This is a team with nothing to prove and everything to lose.
