Detroit Pistons End 28-Game Losing Streak with Victory over Toronto Raptors

After matching the NBA record for most losses in a row at 28, the Detroit Pistons have finally snapped their losing streak, defeating the Toronto Raptors 129-127. The Pistons, who last tasted victory on 28 October, needed a win to avoid setting a new record for the longest losing streak in NBA history. They led for much of the game, with Cade Cunningham having 30 points and 12 assists. It was one of Cunningham's best performances of the season, with the 2021 first overall pick scoring 26 of his points in the second half to help the Pistons pull away. Meanwhile, Toronto had a weakened roster following a trade with the New York Knicks, which saw OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn depart, while Pascal Siakam top scored for the Raptors with 35 points.
