After Action Report
The Lakers stunned the Pistons 125-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
