After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Lakers 105-97. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
