The NBA team is close to the Association’s anti-record

NBA team Detroit Pistons is close to the league's record for consecutive losses, according to ESPN.

Last night, Detroit played against Utah and suffered a defeat with a score of 119:111. This loss marked their 25th consecutive one in the NBA regular season. Therefore, only one more loss remains to tie the league's record. Detroit's next game will be against Brooklyn on the night of December 24.

The record for the most consecutive losses in a single season belongs to Cleveland in the 2010/11 season and Philadelphia in the 2013/14 season, both with 26 consecutive losses. Philadelphia also holds the record for the longest losing streak in NBA history, spanning two seasons in 2014/15 and 2015/16, totaling 28 games.

For reference, Detroit has won the championship five times: twice in the NBL and three times in the NBA, most recently becoming the champion in 2004. One of the most memorable chapters in the team's history is the "Bad Boys" era. From 1986 to 1990, Pistons dominated the NBA with a physical and aggressive style of play, winning two consecutive championships.
