Pistons Show Signs of Improvement with Recent Wins

Jalen Duren's standout performance and strategic changes contribute to Detroit's upswing.

The Detroit Pistons have shown signs of improvement, winning three of their last four games, including a recent victory over the Toronto Raptors with a score of 113-104.
Jalen Duren led the Pistons with a career-high 23 rebounds, 24 points, and five assists, marking his second game this season with at least 20 points, 20 boards, and five assists.
The Pistons' recent success is partly attributed to better defensive efforts and more intentional rotations by coach Monty Williams, with the team achieving a 31-win pace over the last month.
Despite the improvements, the Pistons still have the NBA's second-worst record at 12-53 but have a chance to improve on last year's 17-65 record with 17 games remaining.
The Pistons' trade deadline moves, including the acquisition of Simone Fontecchio and the departure of Bojan Bogdanovic, have contributed to the team's recent upswing.
