After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers buried the Pistons 134-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
