After Action Report
The Lakers stunned the Pistons 137-127. Lakers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
