Detroit beat Minnesota 115-103 on Tuesday night to secure the league's second best record, the Associated Press is reporting. The Pistons will now have home court through to the Eastern Conference Finals, should they meet Boston in the third round.

"That's nice to have, but I don't think it is critical," Coach Flip Saunders said. "With the 2-3-2 format, I don't know how much it even means."
