It is hard to find positives when a team is in the midst of a 21-game losing streak. That is just where the Detroit Pistons find themselves following yet another loss on Wednesday night, at home, to the Sixers, 129-111. With the loss, the Pistons matched the franchise record for most consecutive losses set back between the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons. It is also the sixth longest single-season losing streak in NBA history. Bojan Bogdanovic led the way with 33 points and Cade Cunningham had 21 points as the Pistons fell to just 2-22 on the season.
“I don't want anyone to be happy in this situation,” Pistons coach Monty Williams said. “I want to see an ornery locker room that's tired — not just of losing, but tired of missing shots and tired of giving up 39-point quarters.”
Detroit is near the bottom of almost all categories this season. They are just 28th in points per game this season at just over 108 on the season. They are 22nd in field goal percentage and 26th in 3-point field goal percentage. The Pistons are just 28th in 3-point field goals per game. They are also just 28th in assist-to-turnover ratio. Defensively, the Pistons are 23rd in points allowed per game, over 118 per contest. They are 23rd in defensive field goal percentage and 19th in 3-point defense. The Pistons aren't particularly effective on the boards either, ranking 20th in the league.
Key Injuries: PF Marvin Bagley III and C Jalen Duren are out.
