The 1989 Pistons completed the building of their roster by trading Dantley for Mark Aguirre , a trade that Piston fans would criticize heavily initially , but later praise . The team won 63 games , shattering their one - year - old franchise record , and steamrolled through the playoffs and into an NBA Finals rematch with the Lakers . This time the Pistons came out victorious in a four - game sweep to win their first NBA championship . Joe Dumars was named NBA Finals MVP . </P>
