From The Longest List of the Longest Stuff at the Longest Domain Name at Long Last.com (seriously):
What was the longest NBA losing streak?
For some reason we had a bit of a hard time finding and confirming this record, maybe it's a NBA cover-up.
The record for the longest losing streak in the NBA is held by two lowly teams, the 1995-96 Vancouver Grizzlies and the 1997-98 Denver Nuggets, each losing 23 games in a row.
I don't know if we fans should be rooting for the Wolves to beat the streak and go in the record books, or to not break the streak and keep some modicum of pride. We're a long way from losing 23 straight games (i.e. we've currently lost 11 straight), but the thought of being the best at something (even if it is consecutive losses) is starting to have some appeal.

I'm rooting for it...
…and if they do make it, it will be on the 13th of Jan against the Heat….at home. After Dallas, they go through their easiest stretch of ball this season. If they make 23 straight with this schedule, they should literally blow up the Target Center…with explosives, and then bleach the remains so as not to contaminate the rest of the city with the stench. Here are the winnable games over that stretch:
@ NYK
Griz
Warriors
@ Griz
OKC
Milwaukee
Miami
Those are 7 winnable games and only one of them is on the tail end of a B2B (OKC). If they make 23 in a row with this schedule, I think we can start talking about worst-of-all-time status.

We should just go all-out
and go for the 68 game losing streak! That would never be beaten!
