The Pistons found themselves carrying a 19-point lead at halftime on the road against the Boston Celtics. However, the team with the league's best record rallied to beat the team with the worst record 128-122 in overtime on Dec. 28.

That loss tied Detroit for the most consecutive losses in NBA history with the Philadelphia 76ers, who also had 28 consecutive losses, stretching across the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.

Kyle Kuzma tweeted a picture of his television screen with the halftime score, captioning it with "At this point its like 'dont be that team.'"
