Included in the victories during their seven-game road streak were four playoff teams from last season – Indiana, San Antonio, Dallas and Toronto.

DETROITS SEVEN-GAME STREAK: The Pistons had their season-high seven game winning streak snapped following a 106-103 loss to the Atlanta Hawks (1/9). Here is a look at some of the trends during that stretch.

five games by 10-plus points from 11/28/07-12/5/07. Additionally, the Pistons had a 5-23 record prior to their winning streak with the first five wins in that stretch won by 10 or more points. The Elias Sports Bureau notes that

STAN VAN GUNDY HEAD COACHOVERALL RECORD: 403-258 (.610) RECORD WITH DETROIT: 32-50 (.390)NBA RECORD: 403-258 (.610) SEASONS WITH DETROIT: FirstSEASONS IN LEAGUE: Ninth

Stan Van Gundy was named head coach and president of basketball operations for the Detroit Pistons on May 14, 2014.

Van Gundy, a respected veteran in the NBA coaching ranks, brings a career-coaching record of 371-208 (.641) in seven plus NBA seasons to the Pistons. He’s taken his teams to the postseason seven times and holds a 48-39 (.552) playoff record with the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. He last coached in the NBA during the 2011-12 season when he led the Magic to a 37-29 record and a fifth consecutive postseason appearance. He compiled a 259-135 (.657) regular-season record with the Magic from 2007-12 and captured three consecutive Southeast Division titles from 2007-10.

During the 2010-11 season, Orlando finished 52-30 (.634), good for second place in the Southeast Division and fourth-best in the Eastern Conference. The Magic surpassed the 50-win plateau for the fourth consecutive season, setting a new franchise record. Van Gundy became the second-fastest active NBA coach to 300 career wins and the seventh-fastest all-time on December 25, 2010 vs. Boston. He also coached in his 500 th career game on March 16 at Milwaukee and had the sixth-most wins in NBA history through 500 contests.

In 2009-10, Van Gundy guided the Magic to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight time, after compiling a 59-23 (.720) regular season record. It was the second-best mark in the NBA, and Orlando captured the Southeast Division title for the third consecutive season. Van Gundy was named head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the second time in his career and guided the East to a 141-139 win at the 2010 NBA All-Star Game in Dallas, TX. He coached in his 400th regular season game on February 7 at Boston and ranked third among active head coaches for most victories after 400 career games (257 wins). He was named the NBA’s Eastern Conference Coach of the Month in October/November 2009 and again in April 2010.

During the 2008-09 campaign, Van Gundy guided the Magic through a memorable playoff run, capped off with the 2009 Eastern Conference title and the franchise’s second trip to the NBA Finals. During the regular season, Orlando posted a 59-23 (.720) record and captured the Southeast Division title. It was the team’s second consecutive division crown and its fourth overall.

In 2007-08, his first season with Orlando, Van Gundy led the Magic to a 52-30 (.634) record and the Southeast Division championship. It was the team’s first division crown since 1995-96. Orlando also advanced past the opening round of the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 1996, defeating Toronto, 4-1.

Van Gundy served as head coach of the Miami Heat for two-plus seasons from 2003-05, posting a regular season record of 112-73 and a postseason mark of 17-11. Despite a rash of injuries and a tough schedule, which saw the Heat drop their first seven games, Van Gundy righted the ship and led Miami to a 42-40 record during his first season as head coach in 2003-04. They became just the fourth team since the NBA went to its current playoff format in 1983-84, to reach the playoffs after starting the season with at least seven consecutive losses. The 42 wins was a 17-win improvement from the previous season, the second-best turnaround in franchise history and the fourth-best in the NBA from 2002-03 to 2003-04. Van Gundy earned NBA Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for March 2004, after leading the Heat to an Eastern Conference-best 12-3 mark during the month. Miami finished the regular season by going 17-4 over its final 21 games, finished second in the Atlantic Division and earned homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

During the 2004 NBA Playoffs, Miami defeated New Orleans during the First Round, 4-3, making Van Gundy just the fourth rookie coach in NBA history to win a decisive seventh game during a playoff series. He guided the Heat to the Eastern Conference Semifinals for just the third time in franchise history, where they eventually fell to top-seeded Indiana in six games.

Van Gundy led the Heat to a 59-23 record in 2004-05, the second-most wins during a single season in team history, and the Southeast Division title. The Heat won the division by 14 games, the largest margin for any division winner in the NBA that season. For the second straight time, he guided the Heat to a 17-win improvement from the previous season, making him only the second coach in NBA history to lead his team to at least 15-win improvements in consecutive seasons.

Van Gundy was named head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars for the 2005 NBA All-Star Game in Denver, where he led the East to a 10-point win. He also earned NBA Eastern Conference Coach of the Month honors in both December 2004 and March 2005. The Heat went on a franchise-record 14-game winning streak from December 6 – January 1 and later reeled off 12 consecutive victories from February 26 - March 19, becoming the first Eastern Conference team with a pair of double-digit win streaks in the same season since the 1995-96 NBA Champion Chicago Bulls.

During the 2005 NBA Playoffs, Miami advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, recording four-game sweeps of both New Jersey and Washington. It marked just the second time in Heat history the team reached the Conference Finals and came within minutes of a trip to the NBA Finals, before falling to Detroit in Game 7. It was also the first time in team history that Miami had advanced to at least the Conference Semifinals in consecutive seasons.

Van Gundy spent 12 years with the Heat, arriving prior to the 1995-96 campaign and served as assistant coach under Pat Riley for two seasons. He was elevated to assistant head coach in 1997, a position he held for six seasons. Van Gundy was the team’s lead assistant until being named head coach on Oct. 24, 2003.

Prior to his tenure with Miami, Van Gundy coached at the University of Wisconsin for three seasons, including head coach in 1994-95. He began his coaching career as an assistant at the University of Vermont from 1981-83, then served as head coach at Castleton State College (VT) from 1983-86. After stints as an assistant coach at Canisius College (1986-87) and Fordham (1987-88), he was head coach at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell from 1988-92. In eight years as a college head coach, Van Gundy compiled a record of 135-92 (.595).

A native of Indio, Ca., Van Gundy was born on August 26, 1959. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a Bachelor of Science in physical education from SUNY-Brockport in 1981. While at SUNY-Brockport, Van Gundy played basketball for his father, Bill. His brother, Jeff, was a head coach in the NBA for 11 seasons, most recently with the Houston Rockets from 2003-07. Van Gundy and his wife, Kim, have four children.
