As of Tuesday, it’s been 24 days since the Pistons won a professional basketball game.
Twenty-four! And with Detroit’s next game not until Friday, the shortest the Pistons can cut off their winless streak is 27 days. The Texas Rangers—whose MLB season ended on Nov. 1—have won three games since Detroit’s last win. The Pistons, meanwhile, have been stuck on two victories since Oct. 28.
Detroit’s losing streak arguably reached its nadir Monday night when it lost to the Nuggets. Normally that wouldn’t be very embarrassing, except Jamal Murray was out, Michael Malone was tossed in the first quarter and Nikola Jokic was also ejected after playing only 15 minutes. The Pistons have now lost a dozen games in a row, and have quickly become the saddest watch in the league.
