After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Pistons 120-101. Lakers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
