AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) – The Detroit Pistons are entering the home stretch in more ways than one. With a playoff spot now a realistic possibility, Detroit will play its next nine games at the Palace, the team’s longest homestand in 35 years. The Pistons don’t have another road game until April 2 at Chicago. By then, they hope to have taken a big step toward their first postseason berth since 2009. The homestand begins Wednesday night against Atlanta. The Pistons then host four straight teams with losing records – Sacramento, Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Orlando.
