The Pistons shocked the Lakers 135-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
