Misery doesn’t end for the Detroit Pistons, as they failed to evade the infamous NBA record. The biggest losing streak in a single season. The team took on the lethal Brooklyn Nets for two consecutive games in their attempt to evade the embarrassing record. Unfortunately, the result didn’t turn out the way the team expected, as they took home their 27th consecutive loss on Tuesday night. Moreover, the team received unwelcoming chants thrown at them by their fans.
The Pistons and San Antonio Spurs were in contention for breaking the record for the biggest losing streak in a season. Fortunately, the Spurs escaped the embarrassment before it was too late. However, after the win, they are back again with a 5-game losing streak. In the case of Pistons, the team is way past the emergency escape button. And the fans have an important message for the team.

The Pistons line stepped on the home court with the embarrassing record at the front door. And, the team played with the intent to escape the insult as they started off with fire. In fact, the team managed to produce a massive lead in the first quarter, stepping up the stage for a win.
Cade Cunningham dropped 41 points and became the first Pistons player with multiple 40+ points games in a month since Jerry Stackhouse in 2001. However, it all went in vain as the Nets pulled off a late lead in the game. And, home team fans couldn’t hold their frustration and burst out chanting, “Sell the team,” in chorus.
Importantly, this isn’t the first time for the $3.1 billion-worth team. During the last home game against the Utah Jazz, the crowd erupted with ‘sell the team’ chants after the team bit the dust against the short-handed Jazz team. The fans repeated the same on Tuesday night as well.
