The Detroit Pistons are officially one of the NBA’s coolest comeback stories this season. Last year, they were stuck in the league’s basement with just 14 wins. Now? They’re heading into the halfway point with a winning record, no matter what happens Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. With 10 wins in their last 12 games, the Pistons have totally flipped the script, sitting at 21-19. Monday’s win over the Knicks, 124-119, was the latest highlight.
