After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Lakers 121-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
