Overview

  • The Detroit Pistons have lost 27 consecutive games, breaking the single-season NBA record for the longest losing streak.
  • The Pistons could equal the longest losing streak in NBA history with a loss to the Boston Celtics, and set a new record with a loss to the Toronto Raptors.
  • The Pistons' roster contains eight former lottery picks, yet the team has failed to find success.
  • Detroit's last win came in their third game of the season, when they beat the Chicago Bulls on Oct. 28 to move to 2-1 overall.
  • The Pistons are on the verge of holding the worst record since 2000 for a team in the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB.
