The Detroit Pistons experienced a significant resurgence during the 1995-96 season, finishing with a 46-36 record under new head coach Doug Collins. This marked a 18-win improvement from the previous year and ended a three-year playoff drought, securing the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. The team was led by the sensational play of Grant Hill, who averaged 20.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 6.9 assists, and Allan Houston, who contributed 19.7 points per game. While their postseason run ended in the first round against the Orlando Magic, the season established a promising new foundation for the franchise and revitalized the fan base at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The third overall pick in the 1994 NBA Draft and a 2018 Hall of Fame inductee, Grant Hill was a versatile point forward for the Detroit Pistons who earned five All-Star selections and five All-NBA honors during his dominant six-season tenure with the franchise.
