The Detroit Pistons continue to plummet towards a negative record in the NBA. The 124:130 at the Atlanta Hawks on Monday (local time) was already the 24th defeat in a row, only two more are still missing from the inglorious record.
The Cleveland Cavaliers (2010/11) and the Philadelphia 76ers (2013/14) each lost 26 times in a row. The Sixers were even worse across seasons. At the end of the 2014/15 season and the beginning of the 2015/16 season, Philadelphia suffered 28 bankruptcies in a row.
Cade Cunningham scored a career-high 43 points, but that ultimately didn’t help his Pistons either. Trae Young had a double-double for Atlanta with 31 points and 15 assists.
“We’re desperately trying to get a win,” Pistons coach Monty Williams said. This time it was close in many ways. On Friday we play at home against the Utah Jazz. If Detroit also forfeits this game, the team could equal the negative record on Christmas Eve at the Brooklyn Nets.
