Pistons Tie Franchise Record With 13th Straight Win, Top Pacers 122-117

Cade Cunningham leads the way as Detroit matches legendary 1990 and 2004 teams

The Detroit Pistons made history Tuesday night, digging deep and outlasting the Indiana Pacers 122-117 to tie a franchise record with their 13th straight victory—a hallowed mark previously reached by the championship squads of 1990 and 2004. Talk about rubbing elbows with legends!

Detroit’s record now stands at a jaw-dropping 15-2. Just two years ago, this same team was on the wrong side of history, setting an NBA record for consecutive losses in a single season with 28. My, how the tables have turned—proof that every storm runs out of rain.

Cade Cunningham was the maestro of the night, orchestrating the win with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. Jalen Duren chipped in with 17 points and 12 boards, while Caris LeVert poured in 19 points. And let’s not forget Jaden Ivey, who bounced back from a fibula injury to notch 12 points in just 12 minutes—talk about making every second count!

The Pistons now set their sights on the Boston Celtics in an NBA Cup game on Wednesday, hoping to ride this wave of momentum and carve out a brand-new franchise record. The Motor City faithful will be holding their breath, fingers crossed, and maybe even wearing their lucky socks.

It’s almost hard to believe: just two years after a record-setting losing streak, the Pistons are now flipping the script and making headlines for all the right reasons. If this isn’t a comeback story, I don’t know what is.
