The Sacramento Kings have set a new franchise record, suffering their 15th consecutive loss in a blowout defeat to the Orlando Magic. The Kings' skid is now the longest losing streak in team history, surpassing the previous mark of 14 straight losses set in the 1959-1960 and 1971-1972 seasons.

Why it matters

The Kings' prolonged struggles this season have put them in the record books, but for all the wrong reasons. With the team holding the worst record in the NBA at 12-45, and injuries to key players like Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, the Kings are facing a full-blown collapse and are in desperate need of a turnaround.
