At least matching the record appears mostlikely with a videogame Thursday night versus the NBA-leading Boston Celtics on the roadway.
The videogame versus Brooklyn, like the season, began with some hope.

The Nets outscored the Pistons by 13 in the 2nd quarter to lead 61-54 at halftime.
Cade Cunningham scored 18 of his 41 points in the 3rd quarter and made a 3-tip early in the 4th to provide Detroit a 97-92 lead.
Just as fans who almost filled Little Caesars Arena began cheering with enthusiasm heard at a playoff videogame, the Nets went on a 13-0 run to take the lead for excellent.
Cunningham did his part to provide the group a shot to lastly win, however he didn’t have much aid and even he had a turnover
Bojan Bogdanovic did rating 23 points before fouling out and after leaving Cam Johnson large open for a 3-guideline that offered Brooklyn a six-point lead with 1: 40 to go. Jaden Ivey, the No. 5 choice total last year, missedouton 9 of 12 shots as the Nets backed off him and invited the guard to shoot.
In the last minute, fed-up fans began to chant, “Sell the group! Sell the group!” though Pistons owner Tom Gores was not in the structure to hear it.
