On Friday night, the Pistons were blown out by the 76ers in the City of Brotherly Love. It marked their 22nd straight loss.
Unsurprisingly, this 22-game losing streak is a franchise record for the Pistons. It’s also the sixth-longest skid in a single season.
Pistons head coach Monty Williams obviously isn’t thrilled about the team’s losing streak.
“It’s deflating,” Williams said, via ESPN . “It is what it is. It’s a lot of repetitive games.”
Detroit update: the Pistons have now lost 22 STRAIGHT GAMES.

The Pistons showed some promise in October, winning two out of their first three games. Cade Cunningham was playing well, Jalen Duren looked like an emerging star, and Ausar Thompson was proving he can stuff the stat sheet.
Fast forward to this December, and the young core of the Pistons looks absolutely broken.
Things won’t get any easier for the Pistons. They’ll face the Bucks tonight in Milwaukee.
Tipoff for the Bucks-Pistons game is at 6 p.m. ET.
