Pistons Clinch #1 Seed in East — First Time Since 2007

The Detroit Pistons are the #1 seed in the East. Read that sentence again.

Two years ago this franchise won 14 games. Now they've clinched home court advantage throughout the entire Eastern Conference playoffs with a dominant 116-93 win over the Sixers. Tobias Harris — yeah, the guy Philly let go — put up 19 against his former team, and Daniss Jenkins went for 16 points and 14 assists. This team doesn't need Cade Cunningham to blow you out.

Speaking of Cade — the Pistons have gone 8-2 since he suffered a collapsed lung on March 17. Their only two losses in that stretch came in overtime. This isn't a one-man show anymore, it's a machine. Detroit hasn't been the #1 seed since the 2006-07 season. Chauncey Billups era. The Bad Boys' spiritual successors are back, and they've got the receipts.
