The Detroit Pistons set a new record for the longest losing streak in an NBA season, after the Brooklyn Nets inflicted their 27th straight defeat.
Detroit, who won two of their first three games of this campaign, were beaten 118-112 at home on Tuesday.
In the fourth quarter, the Pistons held a 97-92 lead.
But the Nets took control with 13 unanswered points and Cameron Johnson top-scored with 24 in their win.
The Pistons face the Boston Celtics, who have the NBA’s best record, in Detroit on Thursday.
