After Action Report

The Pistons downed the Lakers 107-93. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
