[Saba Sports News] The Utah Jazz added insult to injury for the Detroit Pistons with a humorous TikTok post after their victory on Thursday night. The Jazz defeated the Pistons 119-111, exacerbating Detroit’s staggering 25-game losing streak, despite Utah missing key players like Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson due to injuries. The Pistons had been slight favorites going into the game.
Utah’s official TikTok account gained attention for its post-game content, featuring a comical reference to the “SpongeBob SquarePants” Season 3 episode “New Student Starfish.” The post played on the line “I thought of something funnier than 24 … 25!!!” highlighting the Pistons’ extended losing streak, which had just increased from 24 to 25 games.
The Pistons are enduring a tough phase, with their last win nearly two months ago and now being one loss away from tying the record for the longest single-season losing streak in NBA history. This challenging period is marked by Cade Cunningham’s stunted development, Jalen Duren’s injury, and disheartened fans demanding organizational changes. The Jazz’s TikTok post offered no respite for Pistons supporters, who are already facing a difficult season.
