It's history not many fans inside Little Caesars Arena were looking forward to experiencing Tuesday night, but the Detroit Pistons couldn't avoid NBA infamy, dropping their 27th straight game with a 118-112 loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
It's the most consecutive losses in a single season in league history. The 76ers have the overall record, losing 28 straight, but that spanned the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Detroit hasn't won a game since its home opener Oct. 28, against Chicago, and now is 2-28 on the season.
The Pistons have the second-longest losing streak in NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB history. The Sixers' 28-game losing streak in 2015 spanned multiple seasons.
