Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 19:08:33 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The Detroit Pistons were off to a promising start, a recent Coach of the Year leading a team that appeared full of hope.Now they are on the verge of matching the most hopeless teams in NBA history.The Pistons have lost 25 straight games, needing a victory Saturday in Brooklyn to avoid equaling the longest losing streak within one season. They haven’t won in almost two months.The 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers both dropped 26 in a row.“That’s history that nobody wants to be a part of,” guard Cade Cunningham said. “We’re trying to build something that’s sustainable. It’s not like we’re trying to just go out there and win one game. We want to win multiple games. But to be on the wrong side of history, I mean, nobody wants to be there, so that is definitely an extra edge that we have to have.”It’s been a rocket trip to rock bottom for the Pistons, who were a basket away from a 3-0 start in their first season under Monty Williams.

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 19:08:33 GMT

LOUISVILLE, Ky.

Center on Thursday night offered clues that Louisville fans haven’t totally abandoned the Cardinals’ tougher-than-expected rebuilding process. However, interest has dwindled with the arena near empty this season after head-scratching losses and off-court missteps by embattled second-year coach Kenny Payne have ratcheted the heat on him, to the point his job was speculated to be in serious jeopardy last weekend.“We’ve been spoiled,” said Louisville fan and resident Nick Lococo, who attended Thursday’s game with wife Cera, proudly dressed in a Kentucky blue top.“We’ve had great coaches for a number ...
