After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Pistons 119-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
