This season’s Pistons are worth the NBA’s respect … and might resemble the Thunder

The Detroit Pistons have been on a roll this season, with an impressive 8-game winning streak that has caught the attention of NBA fans and analysts alike. According to a recent article by The New York Times, the Pistons' turnaround can be attributed to the emergence of Cade Cunningham, who has been likened to Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

The Pistons' recent success has also been noted by USA Today, which listed them as one of the 'winners' of the week in their NBA winners and losers column.

But what exactly is behind the Pistons' impressive turnaround? An analysis by The Athletic points to their improved defense, which has been a key factor in their recent wins.

The Pistons' 8-game winning streak is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it will be interesting to see if they can maintain this level of performance throughout the season.
