After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Pistons 108-106. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
