After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Pistons 121-60. Lakers' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
