After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Lakers 109-105. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
