The Detroit Pistons lost 126-115 to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, thereby recording their 26th consecutive loss. This feat equals the standing record for the longest losing streak in NBA history.
“None of us went through this, ever,” center Isaiah Stewart said, reflecting on his team’s 26th straight loss. “This is the hardest thing probably all of us went through, especially being in the pros.” Guard Cade Cunningham admitted the team’s pain, explaining “Everybody hates losing, so it’s hard”, adding that the team needs to make a plan of action in order to turn their fortunes around.
Despite another crushing defeat, Jaden Ivey emerged as the Pistons’ standout player, leading his team with 23 points as well as seven assists. Cade Cunningham followed closely behind with 22 points and six assists. The Pistons will have an opportunity to bring their losing streak to an end Tuesday night when they rematch the Brooklyn Nets at the Little Caesars Arena.
