The Detroit Pistons ended their NBA record-tying losing streak at 28 games with a 129-127 home victory over the short-handed Toronto Raptors on Saturday night, as Cade Cunningham had 30 points and 12 assists.
The Pistons, who hadn't won since Oct. 28, matched the Philadelphia 76ers' record of 28, split over the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
They finished one shy of the record for the four major American and Canadian leagues, set by the Chicago Cardinals during World War II.
Jalen Duren had 18 points and 17 rebounds for Detroit (3-29) while Kevin Knox II scored 17 points. The Pistons led 90-86 going into the fourth and neither team was able to put together a run until back-to-back three-pointers by Cunningham and Jaden Ivey made it 110-99 with 5:50 to go.
