After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Pistons 116-115. Lakers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
