After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Lakers 126-94. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
