The Detroit Pistons have had a rough season, and it got even worse on Monday night. The Pistons lost their 23rd consecutive game, falling to the Milwaukee Bucks 146-114. It was a lopsided affair, with the Bucks leading by as many as 38 points in the second half.
The Bucks were led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored a game-high 30 points on 10-of-17 shooting. He also added nine rebounds and seven assists. Khris Middleton chipped in with 24 points, while Eric Bledsoe had 19 points and eight assists.
The Pistons, meanwhile, were led by Andre Drummond, who had a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Reggie Jackson added 17 points and seven assists, while Langston Galloway had 15 points off the bench.
The loss was the Pistons’ 23rd straight, tying the franchise record for most consecutive losses in a single season. The Pistons have now lost 11 of their last 12 games and are now 11-25 on the season.
The Bucks, meanwhile, have now won four straight games and are now 22-14 on the season. They are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings, just one game behind the Miami Heat for fifth place.
It was a tough night for the Pistons, but they will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they host the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks, meanwhile, will look to keep their winning streak alive when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.
