After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Lakers 113-104. Pistons' starting five clicked while the Lakers looked disjointed. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
