After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Lakers 125-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
