The Pistons beat the 76ers 116-93 to lock the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, finishing 57-21 with four games left.

Detroit's 116-93 win over Philadelphia on Saturday secured the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. With a 57-21 record and four games remaining, the Pistons are 4.5 games ahead of the Celtics. Seven Pistons scored in double figures, with Tobias Harris leading the team with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals, while the 76ers were limited to 44% shooting and 15 turnovers.

It’s the Pistons’ first top seed since the 2006‑07 season. All‑Star guard Cade Cunningham, who has missed 10 straight games with a collapsed lung, is still recovering and a return date is unclear. The team can now focus on the playoffs, which begin April 18.
