With the 1-2 punch of Dave Bing and Bob Lanier leading the way the Pistons end 5 years of frustration by making the playoffs, with a solid record of 52-30, topping the 50-win mark for the first time in franchise history. However, in the playoffs the Pistons would be beaten by the Chicago Bulls in a hard fought 7-game series. Following the season Fred Zollner who had owned the Pistons from the start all the way back in 1941 in the NBL sells the team.
