The Detroit Pistons have rewritten the history books, breaking a record no one wants to be a part of.<\/p>\n

The Pistons’ losing streak reached 27 on Tuesday night after falling to the Brooklyn Nets, 118-112, setting a new all-time record for the longest single-season losing skid.<\/p>\n

The previous record had been 26 consecutive losses, shared by the 2013-2014 Philadelphia 76ers and the 2011-2012 Cleveland Cavaliers. The Sixers also lost 28 games consecutively, but that streak started at the end of the 2014-2015 season and continued into the next campaign.<\/p>\n

Detroit started the game on a 22-8 run, but Brooklyn battled back and even got their own lead up to 11 points in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

Detroit took a 97-92 lead with 8:10 left, but the Nets responded with a 16-3 run to take an eight-point lead with just over three minutes to go. They cut the deficit to two with just under a minute left, but Dorian Finney-Smith drilled a three-pointer with 38.0 ticks left.<\/p>\n

In the final seconds, chants of “Sell the team” rang loud in Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n

This streak comes despite them inking Monty Williams to what was then the record for the most lucrative contract ever given to a coach until the San Antonio Spurs signed Gregg Popovich to a new deal. Williams signed a six-year deal worth $78.5 million, but team options and incentives could increase the deal to eight years and $100 million.<\/p>\n

To put that losing streak into perspective, both the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks<\/u> have won a game more recently than the Pistons. Each NFL team has won at least one game since Detroit’s last win, while each NHL team has won seven.<\/p>\n

The Pistons’ last victory came way back on Oct. 28 against the Chicago Bulls<\/u>. That win put their record at 2-1, and it was actually their second consecutive win.<\/p>\n

Now, they are 2-28 and on pace for just a five-win season. That would give them 77 losses.<\/p>\n

The Pistons tied the previous record on Sunday with a loss that also came at the hands of Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Three major holidays have passed since their last win, and there’s a realistic chance for a fourth with New Year’s approaching.<\/p>\n

Detroit heads to Boston to face the Celtics<\/u> on Thursday, then they host the Toronto Raptors next Saturday for their final shot at a win in the calendar year.<\/p>\n
