After a long run of bitter defeats, the Detroit Pistons ended their streak of losses on Saturday night — narrowly avoiding setting a new record for the longest losing streak in the history of the NBA.

The Pistons beat the Toronto Raptors at a home game in Little Caesars Arena with a score of 129-127. The win prevented the Detroit team from breaking the previous 28-game losing streak set by the Philadelphia 76ers across the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. The Pistons had matched the 76ers' record on Thursday.
