The Lakers outlasted the Pistons 104-96. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
