The Pistons blew the doors off the Lakers 113-84. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
