In an 82-game regular season, no team has gone through their entire schedule without celebrating a win.
However, in a league that rewards historically bad teams with premium draft picks to spend on blue-chip talents, woeful teams have often avoided wins like the proverbial plague.
The worst of these outfits have made a habit of almost losing on demand, often going weeks, and sometimes even months, without toasting a dub.
From the 'Process' Sixers to the wheels falling off in the Motor City, here is the full list of NBA franchises to have lost at least 23 games in a row.

| Philadelphia 76ers | 2014/15 & 2015/16 | |
| 26 games | Cleveland Cavaliers | 2010/11 |
| Philadelphia 76ers | 2013/14 | |
| 24 games | Cleveland Cavaliers | 1981/82 & 1982/83 |
| 23 games | Vancouver Grizzlies | 1995/96 |
