So who will fall against the Pistons? The question is being asked more and more. The Pacers and the Sixers wanted to avoid the trap set before them because the pressure could almost be reversed now, as everyone expects a defeat for Detroit.
By losing against Joel Embiid (41 points) and his gang, the Pistons recorded a 21st defeat in a row. This is the sixth worst series in NBA history.
“I don’t want to see anyone satisfied with this situation”comments Monty Williams for ESPN. “I want to see a locker room tired, not just of losing, but tired of missing shots and tired of giving up 39-point quarters. »
The Pistons are heading towards the second worst series
Can Monty Williams' men sink lower? The upcoming schedule leaves little room for optimism: Philadelphia and Milwaukee will be on the program, Friday and Saturday.
In the event of further defeats, the Pistons would then post 23 losses in a row, the second worst series of all time, tied with the Grizzlies in 1995/96, the Nuggets in 1997/98 and the Bobcats in 2011/12.
As a reminder, the worst black streak in NBA history remains the property of the Cavaliers in 2010/11 and the Sixers in 2013/14 with 26 defeats in a row.
