2015–16 Detroit Pistons season


The 2015–16 Detroit Pistons season was the 75th season of the franchise, the 68th in the National Basketball Association, and the 59th in the Detroit suburban area. This season marked the first time the Pistons qualified for the NBA playoffs since the 2008–09 season, and also marked their first winning season since the 2007–08 season. The Pistons would also end their record as the team in the eastern conference with the longest active postseason drought at seven seasons.

In the playoffs, the Pistons were swept by the eventual NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers in four games in the First Round.
The Pistons would not make another playoff appearance until 2019.
