After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Pistons edged the Lakers 123-117. Pistons' offense had its way with the Lakers. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
