After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Lakers 125-87. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · 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.
