Piston demise put off for now

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Pistons win. They win all the time, don’t they? Oh that is right; they don’t win hardly at all anymore. They even lose more than they win. In fact, they are done, done, stick a fork in it done.
But wait, did you hear that? It is the sounds of the Pistons coming back to life. They did what recently seemed impossible. They made the playoffs. Yeah, we were used to the Pistons going all the way to the conference finals and now we just hope they can win a few home playoff games before retooling for next year.
The Pistons and Tayshaun Prince back into the playoffs
Will Bynum had 20 points to lead the Piston to victory over the Nets by the score of 100 – 93.
On the bright side it was the eighth year in the playoffs in a row for Detroit.
The Pistons never trailed, and were up by as many as 19 in the first half. Detroit outshot the Nets 61 to 36 percent and outrebounded them 24-13 to take a 54-38 lead into intermission.
Anderson’s three-pointer pulled the Nets to 76-68 in the final minute of the third period, but Tayshaun Prince’s dunk moved the margin back to 10 at quarter’s end.
New Jersey got to 96-91 in the final minute, but Hamilton clinched the game with a three-pointer.
