The Lakers buried the Pistons 131-109. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
