The Detroit Pistons: Champions of... Well, Not Winning (But at Least They Made History?)
The Detroit Pistons. A team steeped in history, boasting legends like Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, and Ben Wallace. But lately, they've been in the headlines for a different reason entirely. Let's just say, their win column has been looking a bit... barren.

| What is The Detroit Pistons Losing Streak |
A Streak for the Record Books (...of Shame?)
That's right, folks. We're talking about the infamous Detroit Pistons losing streak of 28 games. That's not a typo, my friends. Twenty. Eight. Straight. Losses. An accomplishment so impressive (in a hilariously depressing way) that it became the longest losing streak in NBA history (during a single season, at least).
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Imagine the team meetings. "Alright guys, same game plan as yesterday. Except this time, maybe try not to let the other team score more points than us?" The fans must have needed industrial-sized quantities of antacids.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.

A Silver Lining (Maybe?)
But hey, every cloud has a silver lining, right? At least they didn't lose 29 games in a row. That would have been just sad. And mercifully, the streak finally ended with a win against the Toronto Raptors. The city of Detroit probably erupted in celebrations that would make a championship victory look tame.
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
Fun Facts (Because Misery Loves Company)
- The Pistons weren't the only team to experience such epic losing. The Philadelphia 76ers also hold the record for 28 straight losses, though theirs spanned across two seasons. Baby steps, Philly.
- During the Pistons' streak, they even managed to blow a 21-point lead! Come on, guys. At least make it interesting!
