The Detroit Pistons were never going to beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
From the opening tip, the Pistons never had it. They fell behind early, then they fell behind by more, and then even more. They shot it poorly, they defended worse. D’Angelo Russell made them look like the Motor City Cruise, stunting on them in ways he hasn’t stunted in years.
The Lakers won 133-107 on Wednesday, and frankly, it wasn’t even that close.
Detroit mailed it in, and after (now) 15-consecutive losses, is anyone really surprised?
I don’t even know where to begin.
