Cameron Johnson scored 24 points and the visiting Brooklyn Nets beat the Pistons 118-112 as Detroit set a single-season NBA record with its 27th consecutive loss.

Detroit's 27-game losing streak tops the runs of futility of the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers, who each lost 26 straight.

Philadelphia holds the longest losing streak of all-time, which spanned over the course of two seasons.

The 76ers dropped 28 straight between the end of the 2014-15 season and the beginning of the 2015-16 campaign.

The Pistons can match that skid when they visit the Boston Celtics on Thursday.
