The 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers have more company.
The Detroit Pistons fell to the host Brooklyn Nets, 125-103, on Saturday night. Their 26th loss in a row ties the Sixers and 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers for the longest losing streak in a single season.
The 2013-14 Sixers, who were at the beginning of The Process years, lost 26 in a row from Jan. 31, 2014 through March 27, 2014.
The difference between these Pistons and those Sixers and Cavs teams: Detroit is trying to win. The effort has been there, but the Pistons have not been able to overcome the obstacles in their way.
The Pistons fall to the Nets 126-115 for their 26th loss in a row. That ties the 2013-14 Sixers and the 2010-11 Cavaliers for the most losses in a row in a single season in NBA history.

The Sixers hold the record for most losses in a row overall: 28, a streak that spanned the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
The Pistons next two games are against the Nets at home on Tuesday and the Boston Celtics on the road on Dec. 28.
