The Spurs and Pistons have both suffered heartbreaking losing streaks this season. The Spurs lost 93-82 to the Rockets on Monday, ending a 17-game losing streak that was the longest in franchise history. The Pistons lost to the Pacers on Tuesday, 92-83, for their longest losing streak in franchise history at 20 straight games.

In the Spurs-Rockets game, Spurs player Keldon Johnson played 32 minutes and missed all 10 of his shots, including nine 3-pointers. Although the Spurs played well on the defensive end, the poor performance on the offensive end ultimately led to the team's defeat.

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said after the game, "We couldn't hit 50 percent of our three-pointers. We can't shoot 50 percent from the three-point line."

The Pistons' defense suffered as starting center Isaiah Stewart was ejected from the game against the Pacers after fouling out. In addition, the Pistons had turnovers on the offensive end that led to the team's loss.

Pistons head coach Dwayne Casey said after the game, "We have to keep working hard, we have to keep working hard. We have to keep working hard and try to play better."

Both the Spurs and Pistons are currently at the bottom of the league. The Spurs are currently at the bottom of the West with 3 wins and 19 losses, while the Pistons are at the bottom of the East with 2 wins and 21 losses.
