LeBron James was also unable to capitalize on a strong evening with a victory. He recorded the 109th triple-double (25 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds) of his career in the 109-114 loss to New York, the fifth from the East. The Lakers are eighth in the Western Conference.
Detroit remains completely lost. They lost 130-124 to Atlanta despite 43 points from Cade Cunningham, the 24th loss in a row. Trae Young (31 points and 15 assists) was the standout for the Hawks. The record streaks of Cleveland (2010-2011) and Philadelphia (2013-2014), both 26 losses in a row but each in two different seasons, are getting closer for Detroit. No team has ever done worse in an NBA season than Detroit.
