Detroit — After trailing by 14, the Pistons found themselves trailing the Los Angeles Lakers by one point entering the fourth quarter thanks to a 25-point third-quarter explosion by Bojan Bogdanovic.
The veteran forward did all of the heavy lifting for the Pistons to combat the star-studded duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who combined for 69 points. However, it wasn’t enough as the Lakers left Little Caesars Arena with a 124-117 win over Detroit on Sunday.
Bogdanovic scored a layup with 35 seconds left to bring Detroit within two points, which was made possible by two offensive rebounds by Jalen Duren.
