With expansion the Pistons are moved to the Eastern Division where they don't have to worry about as many long road trips to California. In their first year in the East the Pistons would end a 4-year playoff drought by posting a 40-42 record as Dave Bing leads the league in scoring with 27.1 ppg. However, the Pistons would make a quick exit in the playoffs as they are beaten by the Boston Celtics in 6 games.
