The Brooklyn Nets have done it again! On Sunday, the Nets defeated the Detroit Pistons 126-115, matching the NBA single-season record of 26 consecutive losses. This is a remarkable achievement for a team that was struggling at the start of the season.
The Nets have been on a roll since the All-Star break, winning nine of their last 11 games. This streak has been fueled by the stellar play of point guard D’Angelo Russell, who has been averaging 24 points and 8 assists per game. Russell has been a key contributor to the Nets’ success, and his leadership has been instrumental in the team’s turnaround.
The Pistons, on the other hand, have been struggling all season long. They have lost 26 straight games, which ties the NBA record for most consecutive losses in a single season. The Pistons have been unable to find any consistency this season, and their struggles have been compounded by injuries to key players such as Blake Griffin and Reggie Jackson.
Despite the Pistons’ struggles, the Nets were able to come away with a victory on Sunday. The Nets were led by Russell, who had 33 points and 9 assists in the game. He was supported by his teammates, who combined to shoot 56 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range. The Nets also outrebounded the Pistons 48-44, which was key in securing the victory.
The Nets’ victory over the Pistons marks an impressive turnaround for a team that was struggling at the start of the season. With their win on Sunday, they have matched the NBA single-season record of 26 consecutive losses. It will be interesting to see if they can continue their winning ways and break the record in the coming weeks.
