After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Lakers 120-78. Pistons torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
