Overview

  • The Detroit Pistons tied the NBA record for the longest losing streak, with 28 consecutive losses, after an overtime defeat to the Boston Celtics.
  • The Pistons led by as many as 21 points in the first half, but the Celtics managed to erase the deficit and force overtime.
  • Pistons' star player, Cade Cunningham, expressed optimism despite the loss, stating that the team has what it takes to win a game.
  • The Pistons' last win was on Oct. 28, and they have been competitive in each of the past five losses, with four of them coming by eight points or fewer.
  • The Pistons will need a win at home against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday to avoid setting the NBA record for the longest losing streak.
