After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Pistons 107-94. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
