The NBA's Detroit Pistons, who have been losing streaks, visited the Brooklyn Nets today, losing 115-126 despite three players scoring more than the 20-point mark, tying the league's longest 26-game losing streak in a single season.
The NBA's most consecutive losses in the same season were held by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010-11 and the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013-14, and now the Pistons are the third team to set an embarrassing record.
The Pistons, who urgently needed to stop the defeat, dug a hole for themselves in the first quarter and fell behind 21-32, and then chased the score all the way, but at the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, they attacked again, and were pulled out by the Nets A wave of 15-0 offensive, the gap between the two sides expanded to more than 20 points, and also made the Pistons swallow 26 consecutive defeats.
The Pistons will return to their home court to continue to face the Nets in two days, and if they lose again, they will have the longest losing streak in a single season, and they will then visit Boston Celtic, which may not be optimistic to stop the loss.
The longest losing streak in NBA history was the 76ers' 28-game losing streak across seasons from 2014-15 to 2015-16.
Williams, who won the 2021-22 Coach of the Year award, seems to be unable to find a way to win, despite his huge salary. According to the Associated Press, the biggest problem with the Pistons is that their main rotation players are too young, with an average of less than 25 years old, and the team has obviously been testing the lineup combination, and it is difficult to gather confidence to win.
The Pistons had three players score more than 20 points today, with Ivey scoring the most with 23 and Cunningham scoring 22, but he only played 11 minutes in the first half due to foul trouble.
The Nets, who played back-to-back games, scored a game-high 29 points with Bridges, plus seven assists and six rebounds.
