Detroit Pistons they did history in the NBA Tuesday night for the saddest of reasons, extending his streak to 27 defeats in a row, worst brand in historyafter a 112-118 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
Not even a little Christmas magic could save the team from the car city into basketball ruins. Absolutely demoralized and cemented their name in the annals of the league as one of the worst teams to ever play the gameThe Pistons beat 2013–14 Philadelphia 76ers already 2010–11 Cleveland Cavaliers as the team with the worst streak in basketball. Before Tuesday night, the three had suffered 26 straight losses in the same campaign.

However, the Pistons still have a clear path to elimination, as with two more losses they could overcome the worst streak of consecutive defeatsowned by the 76ers during the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons, between the end of one season and the beginning of the next, they lost 28 matches.
Those led by Monty Williams, who were again heckled and booed by their fans at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit this Tuesday, face a mission that seems impossible as they face the mighty Celtics, Eastern Conference leaderswith a record of 23-6, and is a strong contender for the championship ring this season.
Later they will get houses Toronto Raptorsagainst which it is entirely possible to surpass the Sixers’ mark between the two seasons.

Regardless, there seems to be no consolation for this team that doesn’t do justice to such an iconic franchise in a league with three championship rings: two fierce and intimidating “Bad Boys” by Isaiah Thomas (1989-1990) and 2004 under the leadership Chauncey Billups who were able to overcome some Los Angeles Lakers what they had at that time Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’NealGary Payton and Karl Malone are among their ranks, iconic NBA players.
Sitting near the bottom of the East with the worst record in the entire league (a dismal 2-28), Detroit is now a buried, hopeless team that hasn’t won a game since last October 28, when it beat the Chicago Bulls.
Aside from that win and another on Oct. 27 over the Charlotte Hornets (99-111), the Motown team has lost 27 of 29 games this season and failed to win. not a single victory for the entire November even still in December.
Plus, the conversation surrounding the Pistons is already centered around teams with worst balance and winning percentage the end of a regular season in NBA history.
The Detroit Pistons are not a serious basketball team. I just saw them hit the ball off Isaiah Stewart’s head on one side and immediately make a three on the other 😭 pic.twitter.com/b3OPoKca9L

A 2-28 record leaves Detroit with a .066 winning percentage, while the league’s worst regular-season team in history was the 2011-12 Charlotte Bobcats (7-59 and .106 in the lockout-shortened season). ) and the 1972–1973 Philadelphia 76ers (9–73 and .110).
To make matters worse, Detroit’s wing brand Wing stoppersponsor of the team, announced a promotion at the beginning of the season, within which: For every team victory, they gave the fans five wings. free with every purchase. Only after almost 30 games was applied twice.
Despite the terrible series, not everything is rosy for the Pistons as Cade Cunningham He again had a great game against the Nets and continues to show that he is one of the most promising pieces in the league. Now we just have to wait for the team to achieve better results, or first pick in the 2021 draft and the star, who is only 22 years old, could request change catastrophic outside the motor city.
