DETROIT PISTONS INFORMATION:
The Detroit Pistons play in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team began its history as a true professional team in 1948 as the Fort Wayne Pistons in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After years as a competitive and popular team in Ft. Wayne, appearing in two NBA finals, the team was moved to Detroit in 1957. The ‘60s and ‘70s found the team with great players, but weak overall teams, along with fierce competition within Detroit’s own division. The acquisition of Isaiah Thomas, John Salley, and Dennis Rodman in the 1980’s helped the Detroit Pistons build a strong team, culminating in two NBA titles in 1989 and 1990. The Pistons wouldn’t vie for a championship again until 2004 led by Billups and Wallace. They tried unsuccessfully to defend that title the following year, but ever since have established themselves as a top team in the East.
The 1980's was the "Bad Boys" era, which was characterized by the Pistons's physical defense style of play. The Bad Boys were a force to be reckoned with, as they competed in the NBA Finals in 1988, 1989 and 1990. In both '88 and '89, the Pistons could not keep momentum to seal the deal, but in 1990, the team finally won their deserved NBA Championship.
The Detroit Pistons play their home games at the Palace of Auburn Hills, commonly referred to as simply “the Palace”, in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Although it’s one of the older arenas in the NBA, the Palace was designed with the future in mind. It combines both a storied past with all the amenities of a newer sports complex.
