Pistons lose and break negative record with 27 consecutive defeats

On the night of this past Tuesday, the 26th, the Detroit Pistons was defeated by Brooklyn Nets fully Little Caesars Arenain the city of Detroitin the state of Michiganby 118 to 112, reaching a very heavy negative mark in the history of NBA. Without winning since the triumph against Chicago Bulls, in October, the team had 27 consecutive defeats, reaching the record for the longest streak without wins in an NBA regular season, surpassing the Philadelphia 76ers 2013/14 and the Cleveland Cavaliers 2010/11, who lost 26 matches in a row.

Even with a spectacular performance by Cade Cunningham, especially in the second half, scoring 41 points, nine rebounds and five assists, leading an offensive at the beginning of the last period that ended in a comeback for the Pistons, nothing was enough to avoid the defeat. The franchise’s number 2, in fact, is always a positive highlight in the team’s games, but just one athlete is not enough for victory to finally come.

However, the record seems to be far from being established, as the NBA calendar does not promise to make life easier for the Pistons. This Thursday, the 29th, the team takes the court again against Boston Celtics, the team with the best campaign in the league. If they lose, the team will tie the record for negative streak counting more than one season, which belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers from 2014/15 to 15/16, with 28 losses.

The Brooklyn Nets just want to get closer and closer to a definitive playoff spot. For now, the team that has a 15-15 record occupies 9th place in the Eastern Conference, being in the play-in zone. The New York team takes the court again this Wednesday, 27th, against Milwaukee Bucks.

“Sell the team!”
