Pistons clinch playoff spot one season after finishing with 14 wins, NBA’s worst record

The Detroit Pistons clinched a playoff spot on Friday night with their 117-105 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Detroit is in the postseason one year after finishing with the worst record in the NBA at 14-61, and set a league record for the longest single-season losing streak at 28 games.

Interestingly, the Pistons broke that streak against the Raptors, the same team against whom they finished off an impressive one-season turnaround.

Previously, no team in NBA history has ever gone from winning just 14 games to making the playoffs the following season. At 43-34 going into Saturday’s matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies, the Pistons can finish no worse than the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, finishing ahead of a play-in tournament spot.
