The Utah Jazz took on the Detroit Pistons in a battle of two of the league’s worst teams tonight and escaped with a 119-111 win. Though they are loaded with former lottery picks, the Pistons now have a 2-26 overall record with an ugly 25 straight losses. A lot of eyes were on this game and fans worried this would be a trap game for our Utah Jazz and even national writers took notice of Detroit’s need to win this game to avoid getting closer to a lowly franchise record of 26 straight losses.
As opportunies go to end this 24-game losing streak and sidestep the infamy of the all-time single-season record of 26, the Detroit Pistons get a good one at home tonight: The Utah Jazz without Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, Keyonte George and Talen Horton-Tucker.
