After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Lakers 117-85. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
