The Brooklyn Nets extended their losing streak to four games after falling to the Detroit Pistons 115-94 at Little Caesars Arena, struggling with a slow start that saw them shoot 1-for-8 early on. Despite a third-quarter surge that narrowed the margin to just six points, the Nets were unable to sustain momentum, ultimately being outscored in the final quarter. Malik Beasley shined for the Pistons, leading the scoring with 18 points, while the Nets' bench saw standout performances from Tyrese Martin.

Brooklyn's shooting woes continued as starting players faltered, highlighted by Cam Johnson's dismal 3-for-20 shooting night. The Nets' struggles without D'Angelo Russell were evident, dropping to a dismal 1-10 in his absence this season. Even with a second-half improvement, the Nets’ first-half performance, marked by 14 turnovers and 28.6% shooting, proved too detrimental to overcome.
