The Detroit Pistons (2-21) dropped their league-worst 20th game Monday night to the Indiana Pacers (13-8), 131-123, at Little Caesars Arena on Monday night.

Things looked good for the Pistons early, as they held a three-point lead at the end of the first quarter. However, the Pacers were able to snatch the lead heading into halftime. The two teams tied the third frame, and the lead changed hands throughout the second half, but Indiana were able to pull away in the fourth quarter to capture their fourth straight win. Both teams shot 55-plus percent from the field, however the Pacers out-rebounded the Pistons 43-30, including 11-6 on the offensive boards.

The Pacers have typically been led by All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton – who was named to the inaugural All-NBA In-Season Tournament team – and while he only scored 14 points, he also had 16 assists, which is the sixth time he has registered 15-plus assists in a game this season. Instead, it was Bennedict Mathurin who led the way with a season-high 30 points along with eight assists, seven rebounds and two steals over 37 minutes off the bench. Myles Turner led the starters in scoring with 23 points to go along with eight rebounds and three blocks.

Meanwhile, the Pistons had six players register double-digit points in Monday’s loss. Cade Cunningham led Detroit in scoring for the ninth time in 11 games with 23 points while adding seven assists and six rebounds. Ausar Thompson had 20 points and six rebounds, while Bojan Bogdanovic chipped in 17 points and three steals. Jaden Ivey led the bench with 18 points while Alec Burks scored a quick 14 points over 13 minutes.

The Pacers continue their four-game road trip Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks in a rematch of the In-Season Tournament semifinals, while the Pistons look to break their historic losing streak on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.
