Stan Van Gundy
Just when many fans were about to give up the Pistons, they do this.
For the fifth time in a row, the Pistons won Sunday night, beating the Sacramento Kings 114-95 at the Palace in Auburn Hills.
Coincidence or not, the Pistons have won every game since dumping Josh Smith.

There are a lot of perfectly good explanations for the Detroit Pistons' five-game winning streak—justifications ranging from their soft schedule to their improved perimeter shooting to Brandon Jennings' surprising resurgence—but none are as simple as this: Stan Van Gundy was right to waive Josh Smith.
Smoove-less, Detroit smashed the visiting Sacramento Kings by a final of 114-95 on Sunday, riding a whopping 35 points from Jennings to its fifth straight victory. Just for context, the Pistons won five times in the 28 games Smith played with them this year.
