Detroit Pistons Hand Brooklyn Nets 130-77 Loss in Most Lopsided Win in Team History

The Pistons set a franchise record with a 53-point win as All-Stars Jalen Duren and Cade Cunningham led Detroit to a 36-12 season record.

  • On Sunday, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Brooklyn Nets 130-77 at Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, recording the largest margin in Pistons history as they start a four-game homestand.

  • Longer-Term, Sunday's game suggests all five of Brooklyn's 2025 first-round picks struggled, highlighting their developmental runway despite a promising group.
