After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Pistons 108-78. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
