After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Lakers 121-82. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
