Michigan Central lights up for the Detroit Pistons by Chris Ahern Photography
The NBA shares that after an unprecedented turnaround, the Detroit Pistons are back in the NBA Playoffs! The Cade Cunningham-led Pistons were 44-38 good for 6th in the Eastern Conference this season just one year after winning a league-low 14 games.
The seven game series vs the New York Knicks (51-31) opens Saturday at 6pm at Madison Square Garden. The Freep notes that this isn’t a matchup between a top seed like 2019 playoff sweep vs MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Knicks do have home-court advantage, more playoff experience, and more star power, but the Pistons won three of four games against the Knicks this season.
I went over to Michigan Central this morning after a reader tipped me off about the cool color scheme yesterday, but it was just the usual white lights. The very large silver lining is that you all get this amazing drone shot from yesterday morning. Click the photo to follow Chris on Facebook, click here for his Instagram, and for sure check out the Detroit portfolio on his website for more great shots, including some of MCS in different colors!
And PS: You can relive Detroit Piston greatness through 30 years on Michigan in Pictures posts!

What a bummer they turned off the lights – well at least you can show them off with Chris Ahern’s featured image here. I took a peek at one gallery and I didn’t know the word “Lions” appeared on the MCS – first time I saw that image. I was working downtown in the Buhl Building at the time of the victory parades. My office overlooked Hart Plaza and it’s an old building, so we were able to open the windows and hear the street noise – it was a sea of people in Downtown all the way to Hart Plaza. Fun times – I hope they stay in the playoffs for a while.
