Pistons Basketball Tickets

How close were the lucky fans who purchased Pistons basketball tickets to seeing the team win their second consecutive NBA title? They and the San Antonio Spurs entered Game 7 of the championship series tied at three games apiece. The game was tied 57-57 at the end of the third quarter, and just 12 minutes stood between the pistons and their fourth NBA Championship. It was not to be, though, for as the smoke cleared and it was all said and done, the Spurs won the game 81-74 and took home the hardware. But that is ancient history, for as a new year dawns, the Pistons are hungry for redemption. They are eager to go out an reclaim the title, returning it home to Detroit and the Palace of Auburn Hills. They won't be alone, either. Over 900,000 fans bought tickets to see the team play in 2004-05, and you can better believe they'll be back this season.

One Great Reason to Buy Pistons Basketball Tickets

Need something else to convince you to lay down your hard earned money on Pistons basketball tickets? What about having the distinguished honor of seeing one of the greatest defensive players in the history of the game, center Ben Wallace. Wallace, surprisingly, was never drafted by an NBA team. He signed with Washington as a free agent in 1996, was traded to Orlando in 1999 and then dealt to Detroit in 2000. It was then that his career really started to take off. During the 2001-02 season, he led the NBA in both blocks and rebounds and set a single-season Piston record for the former with 278. He won his first NBA Defensive Player of the Year honor that season, and wound up winning the trophy again in 2002-03 and 2004-05. Wallace is proof positive that defense matters in the game of basketball, as his blocking and rebounding abilities can change the course of a game night in and night out. He alone is well worth the price of admission.
