Pistons Snap Record 28-Game Losing Streak Just Before New Year’s Eve

The constant chatter of December in the NBA was the stacking of losses that made history, but that streak came to a close just before 2024. The Detroit Pistons won two of their first three games to start the season 1-2, then it happened. A 28-game losing streak spanning almost two months (November and December) broke the NBA single-season record for consecutive losses (27). The Pistons also tied the NBA’s all-time losing streak across multiple seasons (28). It came to an end on Saturday night when Detroit escaped with a narrow win over the Raptors (129-127). They lost again this week, and they’re now 3-30. Despite young star guards and plenty of youthful talent with high upsides, it’s ugly right now in Detroit.

“It wasn’t relief. It was more like, ‘Thank God! Finally.’” — Monty Williams (Pistons Head Coach)
