After spearheading a remarkable Pistons turnaround, J.B. Bickerstaff has inserted himself into the NBA Coach of the Year conversation.
While opening their four-game homestand with a victory over the Clippers, the Pistons extended their winning streak to seven.
Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff wants his team to gain a reputation for being physical on defense. Early foul trouble prevented the Pistons from playing that way in Atlanta on Sunday but that didn't hinder them from keeping their winning streak alive.
The Pistons won their seventh game in a row Monday, their longest win streak since the 2014-15 season. If the Detroit Pistons aren't on your radar, you may want to pay attention to the turnaround underway in the Motor City. They beat the Los Angeles Clippers Monday night, on the second night of a back-to-back, to win their seventh game in a row.
The Pisons brought their win streak to six by beating the Hawks, which is the first time they've won that many in a row in a decade.
