The Pistons' reign atop the Eastern Conference is over.

The Cavaliers beat Detroit 98-82 Saturday night in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, eliminating the East's top-seeded team with four straight wins that likely will lead to an uncertain offseason.

Coach Flip Saunders might only match the two-year tenure that his predecessors, Larry Brown and Rick Carlisle, had before exiting with a buyout and a firing, respectively.

Chauncey Billups, who is expected to be one of the top free agents this summer, may also be elsewhere next season. Chris Webber will be a free agent, too.

The Pistons may also decide they're tired of Rasheed Wallace's act.
