After Action Report
In Detroit, the Lakers handled the Pistons 101-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
