The Detroit Pistons’ misery continues. Cade Cunningham and Co. extended their abysmal losing streak to 27 games after tonight’s loss. The Brooklyn Nets dominated the Pistons and won the game 118-112. Cade Cunningham had another monster performance, going off for 41 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. But that was not enough to snap the Pistons’ horrific streak.

Detroit Pistons might make history for all the wrong reasons
The Detroit Pistons are currently the worst team in the NBA, with a 2-28 record. They might soon register their name in the history books for all the wrong reasons. The Pistons are one game away from tying the longest losing streak in NBA history. The record is currently held by the Philadelphia 76ers with a 28-game losing streak from the 2014-15 season through the 2015-16 season. The Sixers lost the final 10 games of the 2014-15 regular season and opened the following season with a 0-18 record.
The Detroit Pistons will face the number 1 team in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics in the next game. So, it is very likely that they will tie Philadelphia’s 28-game losing streak. Cade Cunningham and Co. will need a miracle and all the support from their fans to keep their name off the history books.
