The 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers share a record with 26 losses. The 76ers hold the all-time lead with 28, a streak that began in the 2014-15 season and continued into 2015-16.
“I want to be careful with my words, because this one hurts more than most,” commented Monty Williams, Detroit’s coach since this season.
The Pistons fell to a 2-26 record, with the crowd chanting “Sell the team! Sell the team!” ultimately, in protest to owner Tom Gores and his company Platinum Equity. Detroit returns to action Saturday night in Brooklyn.
“We’re not bad, we’re not that bad,” said Cade Cunningham, who led Detroit with 28 points and 10 assists. “I think we can change things. We can play better basketball.”
Utah played without four of its top seven scorers — Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, Keyonte George and Talen Horton-Tucker — on the second night of a back-to-back following Wednesday’s loss at Cleveland.
