Reunion Of Pistons' Title Team Draws Sellout Crowd To Palace

At Friday night's Heat-Pistons game, a "sellout crowd arrived to witness the 25th anniversary reunion" of the Pistons' '89 championship team. It was a "rare electric night" at the Palace of Auburn Hills, as the franchise is "limping toward the end of its fifth straight season not making the playoffs." While there was a "smattering of boos" for Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars, the cheers "definitely carried the day." Former NBA Commissioner David Stern "was in attendance, entertaining Palace staff before the game" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 3/29).
