The Detroit Pistons made unfortunate history on Saturday night, as they suffered their 26th consecutive loss, tying an NBA single-season record. With a final score of 126-115 in favor of the Brooklyn Nets, the Pistons now join the ranks of the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and the 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers as the only teams to endure such a losing streak.

The Pistons' relentless losing streak also puts them on the verge of setting the all-time record for consecutive losses, a record currently held by the 76ers. Philadelphia's dismal streak spanned from the end of the 2014-15 season to the beginning of the 2015-16 campaign.

Despite their best efforts, Detroit was unable to secure a victory against Brooklyn. However, they did show resilience and managed to cut the deficit to just two points midway through the third quarter. Unfortunately, the Nets responded with a quick 7-0 run, establishing another commanding lead. The Pistons' defense continued to struggle, as they have now allowed opponents to score at least 110 points in 14 consecutive games.

One bright spot for the Pistons was the performance of Cade Cunningham, who bounced back from early foul trouble to deliver a satisfactory showing. The former No. 1 overall pick contributed 22 points and six assists on 9-20 shooting. However, Cunningham's struggles from behind the arc persisted, as he only connected on one of his five three-point attempts.

As news of the Pistons' historic losing streak spread, NBA fans were left both shocked and amused by their consistent incompetence on the court. The team now faces the challenge of breaking their losing streak as they look ahead to their upcoming games.

With their 26th straight loss, the Detroit Pistons have etched their name into the annals of NBA history in a less-than-favorable manner. It remains to be seen how the team will regroup and attempt to turn their fortunes around in the face of this remarkable slump.
