Sad record equaled. The Pistons suffered a 28th straight defeat this Thursday, falling in overtime (128-122) against the Celtics. Due to this new setback, the Detroit team joined the 76ers, who had experienced the same series between the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Historic record in American sport in sight?
Facing the leader of the Eastern Conference, the Pistons pulled off a little surprise in the footsteps of Cade Cunningham (31 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds) but Jayson Tatum (31 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds) and his team did not not flinched in the final moments. Detroit may have regrets after leading by 19 points at the break.
Tuesday, beaten by the Nets (112-118), the Pistons experienced a 27th consecutive defeat, a record in the same season in the NBA. “There is nothing positive in the situation we are in right now. That’s why we have to look deep within ourselves. It weighs on us every day,” admitted Cunningham after the game against Brooklyn.
Saturday night, against the Raptors, Monty Williams’ troops will have the opportunity to make a little more history, in their own way. Among major American sports, the worst losing streak still belongs to the Chicago Cardinals. The NFL team lost 29 games in a row between 1942 and 1945.
