For the Detroit Pistons, their long, loss-filled nightmare — and everyone else’s punchline — has come to an end as the team snapped its 28-game losing streak against the Toronto Raptors.
And the Pistons did it just in time, too. At least if they wanted to avoid going down as the team with the longest losing streak in the four major sports.
It was the first win for Detroit since a victory over the Chicago Bulls on October 28, its third game of the season.

Entering Saturday on a 28-game losing streak, the Detroit Pistons were in search of some sort of feel-good moment. And, thankfully for the team and its fans, the breakthrough has finally arrived in more ways than one.
The Pistons’ 129–127 home win over the Toronto Raptors marked the end of the historic skid that has plagued much of their 2023–24 season. The much-needed win for Detroit also triggered the activation of a now-infamous in-house promotion.

THE STREAK IS OVER 🙌

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb connected for an electric 92-yard touchdown that was the longest of its kind this year.
During the first quarter of a game against the Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys‘ offense faced a third and forever from the 8-yard line. Detroit dialed up some pressure, and the blitz got home to Prescott.
That is, for about 1.5 seconds. Linebacker Derrick Barnes literally ran into the quarterback, but somehow failed to corral him.
He would quickly rue his mistake.

After 28 harrowing games, the Detroit Pistons are finally back in the win column.
The Pistons snapped the longest losing streak in NBA history Saturday evening with a 129-127 victory over the Toronto Raptors, ending a run that had turned over time into a national phenomenon. Guard Cade Cunningham steered the ship for Detroit, dropping 30 points and giving out 12 assists in the Pistons’ first triumph since Oct. 28.
Detroit coach Monty Williams was candid when asked by reporters after the victory to describe the mood in Detroit’s locker room.

Following No. 6 Georgia’s 63–3 drubbing of short-handed No. 5 Florida State in Saturday’s Orange Bowl, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart made a strong statement on the current bowl landscape and the issues regarding opt-outs of key players across the sport.
“People need to look at what happened tonight, and they need to fix this,” Smart began. “Everybody is saying we had our guys, [Florida State] didn’t have their guys. I can listen to all that, but college football has gotta decide what they want. And I know things are changing, and how things are gonna change next year.
