The Detroit Pistons will go down in the history books for all the wrong reasons tonight, with Monty Williams’ team losing an NBA record 27 consecutive games with their loss to the Brooklyn Nets at home on Tuesday.
Here’s how the NBA world is reacting to the news:
This is the NBA Finals.

“Sell-The-Team” chants didnt start until 28 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter tonight. You call it tragic, i call it progress!

I know his team’s about to lose 27 straight but Cade was truly phenomenal in the 2nd half. Unstoppable. I’m really impressed.

Pistons just went full Pistons.
– Alec Burks throws it off Stew's head in transition
– Abysmal effort in defensive transition
– Nobody picks up Royce O'Neale
– Nets up four pic.twitter.com/GPm6W5oiIr— Lucas Kaplan (@LucasKaplan_) December 27, 2023
Truly guys, even just a small shake up trade to go get some dudes to help off the bench would IMMENSELY help the Pistons. Just make it so there are no Wiseman minutes. Burks hasn't been the same since he got hurt. They just need NBA rotation players. https://t.co/TwVkXOpAIC
