After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Pistons 124-89. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
