Can The Detroit Pistons Win a Game Before Having the Worst Losing Streak of Any Sports Franchise?

ALABAMA - After starting the season winning two of their first three games, the Detroit Pistons have dropped an NBA record 27 consecutive games, making it the longest losing streak in a single season in history.

Detroit's 118-112 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 26 was just another episode of rock-bottom moments for one of the worst organizations in the NBA in the last 15 years. Somehow, they could reach another low on their next game against the Boston Celtics on Dec. 28. If they fail to do so, Detroit would tie the Philadelphia 76ers for the longest ever losing streak, which took place across two seasons in 2014-15 and 2015-16. According to ESPN Analytics, the Pistons only have a 3.3% chance to win at TD Garden.
