It’s one thing to lose. It’s another thing to lose 23 times in a row, as the Pistons did Saturday at Fiserv Forum.
It’s quite another thing to lose a 23rd straight contest while the opposing team’s superstar hangs out with his children on the bench during the game.
That is precisely what took place during the Bucks‘ 146-114 annihilation of Detroit. Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo contributed 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists to steer the Bucks to their 18th win.
Then, he sat and watched the Bucks close out the victory with his sons Liam and Maverick on the bench.

For Antetokoumpo—averaging a career-high 32 points per game this season after dropping 64 against the Pacers on Wednesday—it was just another happy day at the office.
For the Pistons—now threatening the record for longest losing streak in NBA history, held by the 2015-16 76ers—it was yet another nightmarish evening amid a skid that appears to have no end.
