After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Lakers 124-107. Pistons torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
