The Pistons outlasted the Lakers 98-91. Pistons' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
