Across the bracket, Joe’s Pistons put together a strong 11–3 campaign behind Kyrie Irving, a deep, hyper-efficient supporting cast, and a top-tier point differential.Then we move into the playoffs, where everything flipped.

We spotlight Finals MVP Michael Porter Jr.’s 14.6/8.4/2.0 playoff line on .625/.556/.840 splits, Anfernee Simons’ explosive 15.4 PPG on .635/.483 shooting, and the impact of Defensive Player of the Year Robert Williams III.On the other side, Joe’s Pistons stumbled in the first round, going 0–2 with their efficiency crashing from .544/.462/.739 in the regular season to .521/.389/.500 in the playoffs.
