After Action Report
In Detroit, the Lakers rolled past the Pistons 124-96. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
