Detroit Pistons Suffer Devastating 25th Straight Loss to Utah Jazz

The Detroit Pistons have been struggling since the start of the season, and they truly reached rock bottom on Thursday night. “Sell the team!” chants erupted at the end of their latest match after they suffered their 25th straight loss to the Utah Jazz. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with 28 points and 10 assists, while Jaden Ivey added 24 more points, followed by Marvin Bagley III with 22. Unfortunately, they didn’t have such great support from their teammates, since no one else scored more than eight points on Thursday, eventually making it easy for the Utah Jazz to score a 119-111 win. Many are blaming the Pistons’ latest string of losses on the first-year coach Monty Williams, but he believes several factors were at play when it comes to their latest loss. “I want to be careful with my words because this one hurts more than most of them. A team that played last night got (50) points off turnovers and rebounds. It is unbelievably hard to understand how we can get outworked in those categories,” said Williams. Thursday’s defeat to the Utah Jazz marks the Pistons’ 25th straight loss – one short of the NBA single-season record, shared by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers at 26. The all-time record is held by Philadelphia, who lost 28 straight games between the end of the 2014-15 season and the start of the 2015-16 season.
