Detroit Pistons set NBA single season record with 27-game losing streak after being defeated 118-112 by the Brooklyn Nets

The Detroit Pistons suffered a 118–112 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, moving their losing streak to an NBA single-season record of 27 straight games.

Detroit's streak extended to a record 26 games after a loss to the Nets on Saturday.

They now hold sole ownership of the longest single-season winning streak in NBA history, the 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers and the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers.

The only longer streak in NBA history is the 28 straight losses for the 76ers stretching from the 2014-2015 season through the 2015-2016 seasons.

Detroit hasn't won a game since Oct. 28, when they moved their record to 2-1 after beating the Chicago Bulls 118-102 a night after topping the Charlotte Hornets 111-99.

The Pistons got off to a strong start in Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, closing the first quarter with a 31-25 lead before the Nets regained the lead at halftime.

Detroit was able to fight back after trailing by 11 points in the game and briefly took the lead during the third quarter, but still entered the fourth quarter trailing on the scoreboard.

The Pistons got off to a great start in the fourth, taking the lead again after a 12-2 run before Brooklyn regained control with a 13-0 run of its own.

Superstar guard Cade Cunningham led Detroit in defeat/to victory, finishing the night with 41 points, five assists and nine rebounds.

Brooklyn, meanwhile, was led by forward Cam Johnson, who finished the night with 23 points. Center Nic Claxton also recorded a double-double after finishing the night with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Nets backup center Day'ron Sharpe also recorded a double-double after adding 11 points and 11 rebounds off the bench.

As the game neared its end, unhappy Pistons fans once again called for ownership to sell the team.
