After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Lakers 102-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
