The Pistons play the Bulls one more time this season and will have a chance to tie the series at 2-2 when they meet again in April. The Pistons take on the Timberwolves on the road on Friday and that game will be a must win if they want to make a playoff push. They are currently three games out of the playoffs and need to start winning while they have a chance to knock the Hawks out of the chase. The Pistons are still 3rd in their division, trailing the Bulls and the Pacers. The Cavaliers are hot on their tail and the Bucks are no were to be seen. This will be the biggest month for the Pistons so far and every game is important from here on out.
