The Pistons are currently in the midst of a 12-game losing streak. It is their fifth worst in franchise history and their longest since the 1993-94 season, which they closed out with 13 consecutive losses. The Pistons lost at Dallas 98-93; at San Antonio 112-92; and at the Palace to Philadelphia 104-94.
The Pistons have regressed in each of the losses. They went toe-to-toe with the Mavericks throughout the whole game, then competed for the first three quarters against the Spurs before collapsing in the fourth quarter, and then finally they started the game lifeless against the Sixers, spotting them a 29-point lead.
The Pistons are a 40-win team that was crippled by injuries at the start of the season and have had their confidence shaken now. If they don’t get their heads and spirits restored in the near future, any hope of a playoff berth this season will soon be out of reach.
