Bickerstaff says Pistons will learn from their blowout loss in Game 7 against the Cavaliers‎

The stunning turnaround season for the Detroit Pistons ended Sunday night with a harsh reminder of how difficult the final step can be. After winning 60 games and earning the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons were overwhelmed at home by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who rolled to a 125-94 victory in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Detroit, which forced the deciding game with a road win Friday night, never found its footing offensively and struggled to match Cleveland’s physicality and pace from the opening tip.
