After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Lakers 108-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
