The Detroit Pistons have tied the NBA record for the longest losing streak in a single season after marking their 26th consecutive defeat on Saturday night in Brooklyn, New York. With the 126-115 loss to the Nets Saturday, Detroit is now tied with the 2010-2011 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-2014 Philadelphia 76ers for the longest single-season record at 26 games. The losing streak started at the end of the 2014-2015 year and continued into the following season. The team’s record now stands at 2-27. “Losing is awful in this league and we’ve had a lot of it,” head coach Monty Williams told reporters Saturday.
