Pistons

The Detroit Pistons have established a new NBA record by enduring their 27th consecutive defeat. 

Detroit : Tuesday night was not a highly anticipated event for many fans inside Little Caesars Arena, as history was made with the Detroit Pistons suffering their 27th consecutive loss in a 118-112 defeat against the Brooklyn Nets. This unfortunate streak now holds the record for the most consecutive losses in a single season in NBA history. However, it is worth noting that the Philadelphia 76ers still hold the overall record with 28 straight losses, although this occurred over the course of the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. Since their victorious home opener against Chicago on October 28th, the Detroit Pistons have been unable to secure another win, resulting in a disappointing 2-28 record for the season.

Historic Skid : The Pistons hold the second-most extended losing streak in the history of NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB. The Sixers, on the other hand, experienced a 28-game losing streak in 2015 that extended across multiple seasons.


The topic of the all-time losing mark was unavoidable for Pistons coach Monty Williams before Tuesday's game. He expressed his desire to not be associated with such a record, but acknowledged the weight it carries for the franchise. Williams emphasized that while coaches may be linked to records, the players certainly don't want that attached to their jersey. The losing streak has been a burden for a while, and Williams acknowledged that grading its level won't change the situation. The team needs to take action to turn things around. Cade Cunningham, the top pick in the 2021 draft, had an impressive performance in the game, scoring a game-high 41 points, along with 9 rebounds and 5 assists. However, despite his individual success, Cunningham has yet to win a game when scoring 30 or more points, setting a record for the longest streak to start a career in NBA history. After the game, Cunningham passionately addressed the team in the locker room, urging them to stay together and not give up. He acknowledged the challenging situation they find themselves in and emphasized the need to dig deep and find a way out of it. The weight of the losses is constantly present and affects them every day. Although the Pistons started the game strongly, holding a double-digit lead in the first quarter for the first time since November 12, they struggled in the second quarter, committing six turnovers and entering halftime trailing by seven points. Despite their efforts to close the gap in the second half, they ultimately fell short.
