Detroit wins 103-94
CLEVELAND, OH (AP) -- Forget the NBA record, the Cavaliers are officially as bad as any team in any pro sport.
Cleveland's losing streak reached 26, matching the 1976-77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers' record for consecutive incompetence on Wednesday night with a 103-94 loss to the Detroit Pistons, who were supposedly a beatable opponent for the bottom-dwelling Cavs.
Instead, Cleveland's season slipped further into shame.
The Cavs (8-45) remain winless since Dec. 18 and have now dropped 36 of 37.
Their next chance to end the unimaginable slide will be on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Rodney Stuckey scored 22 to pace the Pistons, who didn't want to be remembered as the team that let the Cavs get off the mat.
