The Detroit Pistons are in a rare fraternity no one wants to be part of.

After their 126-115 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, they tied the all-time record with their 26th consecutive defeat.

Only the 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers and 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers have lost as many games consecutively.

To put that losing streak into perspective, both the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks have won a game more recently than the Pistons.

The Pistons' last victory came way back on Oct. 28 against the Chicago Bulls. That win put their record at 2-2, and it was actually their second consecutive win. 

Now, they are 2-26, on pace for just a five-win season – that would give them 77 losses.

"Everybody wants to win, everybody hates losing, so it’s hard," guard Cade Cunningham added. "We’ve got to be realistic as well. Can’t just keep saying the same things over and over, like we’ll get the next one. There has to be like a plan of action, so we’re just trying to figure that out."
