Pistons lose NBA single-season record 27 straight games, falling to Nets 118-112

Associated Press  

DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons have made NBA history. Detroit became the league’s first team to lose 27 straight games in a season, falling 118-112 to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night. I got to get them in a position where they don’t feel tight or heavy.” The Nets beat the Pistons on Saturday in Brooklyn, handing them their 26th consecutive defeat to match the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers for the most losses in a row within one season. “I’ve been through tough playoff losses, and this is relative to that,” said Williams, who led Phoenix and New Orleans to postseason appearances. “When you lose a playoff game, when you get eliminated, this kind of feels like that.” Cunningham did his part to give the team a shot to finally win, but he didn’t have much help and even he had a turnover late in the game that appeared to be unforced.
