After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Lakers 104-101. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
