      CLEVELAND (AP) - Forget the NBA record, the Cavaliers are
(AP) -- officially as bad as any team in any pro sport.
      Cleveland's losing streak reached 26, matching the 1976-77 Tampa
Bay Buccaneers' record for consecutive incompetence on Wednesday
night with a 103-94 loss to the Detroit Pistons, who were
supposedly a beatable opponent for the bottom-dwelling Cavs.
      Instead, Cleveland's season slipped further into shame.
      The Cavs (8-45) remain winless since Dec. 18 and have now
dropped 36 of 37. Their next chance to end the unimaginable slide
will be on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
      Rodney Stuckey scored 22 to pace the Pistons, who didn't want to
be remembered as the team that let the Cavs get off the mat.
