The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Detroit Pistons 106-99 behind a season-high 20 blocks.
JaVale McGee was active early, blocking two shots at the rim and scoring five of the team’s 10 points including a deep three-pointer to beat the shot clock. Meanwhile, Detroit started out ice cold from the field, missing 10 of their first 11 attempts and allowing Los Angeles to take a double-digit lead.
The Lakers offense eventually slowed down as they came up unsuccessful on a few drives to the rim and open jumpers while the Pistons started to convert on their three-point looks.
