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 as the Pistons matched the longest losing streak in franchise history.
Williams' men have dropped 21 straight, a club record for a single season. They had another 21-game slide spanning the end of the 197980 season and the beginning of 1980-81 campaign.
"I don't want anyone to be happy in this situation. I want to see an ornery locker room that's tired not just of losing, but tired of missing shots and tired of giving up 39-point quarters," Williams said on ESPN.
Tobias Harris added 21 points and seven rebounds for the Sixers, while Kelly Oubre Jr tossed in 17 points at the Little Caesars Arena.
