Philadelphia's Joel Embiid poured in 41 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in 31 minutes, leading the 76ers to a 129-111 win in Detroit on Wednesday as the Pistons matched the longest losing streak in franchise history.

The Pistons have dropped 21 straight, a club record for a single season. They had another 21-game slide spanning the end of the 1979-80 season and the beginning of 1980-81 campaign.

Tobias Harris had 21 points and seven rebounds for the Sixers, while Kelly Oubre Jr. tossed in 17 points.

Bojan Bogdanovic scored a season-high 33 points for Detroit, which plays at Philadelphia on Friday. Cade Cunningham added 21 points and seven assists.

Embiid was unstoppable in the first quarter, piling up 19 points and eight rebounds as the Sixers jumped to a 39-26 lead. He shot 5-for-8 from the field and made all nine of his free throws in the opening period, while Cunningham missed all five of his field-goal attempts.

His putback in the final second of the half gave him 30 points and Philadelphia a 70-56 halftime advantage. He also had 10 boards at the break. Cunningham had 13 second-quarter points for Detroit.
