Detroit Pistons
1998-99 Season Recap
In a season cut in half by a 4-month lockout the Pistons would bounce back from their disappointing season to finish in 3rd place with a 29-21. However, in the playoffs the Pistons would be knocked off in the first round again as they are beaten by the Atlanta Hawks in 5 games. The season would mark an end of an era as Joe Dumars retired after a solid 14-year career. In his final season Dumars would average 11.3 ppg in 38 games.
