After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Pistons outlasted the Lakers 116-101. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
