Los Angeles Lakers 101, Detroit Pistons 78 — It was all Lakers from the get-go as they never trailed, led by 19 at the end of the first quarter, and by 23 at various points throughout the game, including at the final horn.
No one particular Laker did the damage, with Svi Mykhailiuk leading the team in scoring with 19, and four more players broke into at least double digits. It was defense that helped them win, or at least Detroit’s woeful offense. The Pistons shot just 34.
