INDIANAPOLIS — A special night for the Detroit Pistons also was a study in contrasts. 

Two years ago to the day – on Nov. 24, 2023, right there in Gainbridge Fieldhouse – they were outscored by 22 points in the fourth quarter by the Indiana Pacers en route to their 13th straight defeat. That loss, though one of many, wasn’t quite historic – it was merely near the halfway point of their eventual 28-game losing streak to set an NBA record.

And now, in 2025, the Pistons are streaking again. Their 122-117 win over the Pacers on Monday was their 13th win in a row, tying a franchise record previously set in the 1989-90 season and matched in 2003-04 — seasons that both ended with NBA titles.

Monday’s win was the Pistons’ 15th this season – one more than they won in all of that 2023-24 campaign, the franchise’s worst. This season, at 15-2 overall, Detroit has the best record in the East and is on pace for 72 wins, which would far outdo last year’s 44-win total, not to mention the franchise record of 64 wins in 2005-06 – the only other 15-2 start in Pistons history. 

But the lack of fanfare Monday night might say more about this team’s growth than the win itself. The Pistons acknowledged the significance of it, but otherwise? It was business as usual during postgame interviews at the podium and in the locker room. 

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in locating 14-year-old Adrian Stillman, who is considered critically missing.

Stillman was last seen on foot at around 5 p.m. Monday in the 3600 block of West North Avenue.

Stillman is described as a 14-year-old white male, weighing 108 pounds and standing 5’05” with a slim build, brown eyes, and short brown hair. He also wears glasses.

Stillman was last seen wearing a black coat with red accents, a green T-shirt, black pants, and white Nike shoes.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Stillman should call the Milwaukee Police Department’s District Three at 414-935-7232.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed a settlement with RealPage, the company that created an algorithm used by several major landlords accused in a rent price-fixing scheme, including four that operate in the Twin Cities, that would resolve a lawsuit brought earlier this year.

Justice Department proposal

What we know:

Under the proposal, RealPage would agree to limit the data it uses for its algorithm and modeling.

If accepted, RealPage would no longer be able to use real-time, nonpublic data to set rental prices nor train AI or algorithms on leases that are less than 12 months old.

RealPage would also be restricted from sending surveys landlords to get private pricing information.

As part of the agreement, RealPage also agrees to cooperate with the Justice Department in its lawsuit against other major landlords.

What they’re saying:

In a press release, the Justice Department says the agreement will help “restore free market competition in rental markets.”

“Competing companies must make independent pricing decisions, and with the rise of algorithmic and artificial intelligence tools, we will remain at the forefront of vigorous antitrust enforcement,” said Assistant Attorney General Abigail Slater of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division in a provided statement.

Ongoing lawsuit against landlords

The backstory:

Earlier this year, the DOJ sued six of the nation’s largest landlords, including Greystar Real Estate Partners, Cushman & Wakefield, Willow Bridge Property Company and Cortland Management, which operate in the Twin Cities.

The landlords were accused of using the RealPage algorithms and by sharing data with each other to drive up rental prices in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

“The idea is that landlords are conspiring to keep rents high for renters rather than allowing the market to normally set them to a rate that’s reasonable,” Julia Zwak, an attorney at Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid, told FOX 9 in January. “They’re getting information that normally competitors in the market wouldn’t be sharing with one another.”

After news of the lawsuit became public, the Minneapolis City Council passed an ordinance banning algorithmic rental price fixing.

Settlements reached:

After FOX 9 became aware of the lawsuit in January, Cortland Management announced it had reached a settlement with the Justice Department to stop using the pricing algorithms.

Last week, Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is involved in the lawsuit on behalf of Minnesota, also announced last week a settlement with the nation’s largest landlord Greystar. Greystar, which owns 950,000 rental units across the country including thousands in Minnesota, agreed to pay $7 million and stop using anti-competitive pricing algorithms to set rental prices.
