After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Pistons 115-109. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
