If it doesn’t exist, someone create an American federation of losers, because between the Spurs and the Pistons, there is plenty to do. For the Detroit franchise, the evil seems even greater than for the Texans, who had managed to stop the bleeding before falling definitively into shame. The Pistons lost for the 27th consecutive time in the NBA, losing 112-118 to the Nets. A thought for Cade Cunningham, author of more than a third of his team’s points (41) without being able to avoid yet another disaster.
“Sell the team”
For him as for his teammates, the evening ended with boos from supporters asking the owners to sell the team (“sell the team!”) and players fleeing in shame towards their locker room.
A new defeat Thursday in Boston would allow the Pistons to equal the longest losing streak in NBA history, that of 28 games for the 76ers which spanned the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons. The legend, but one that every top athlete would like to avoid.
