Lakers Hammer Pistons To Hand Them Their 15th Straight Loss
The Los Angeles Lakers orchestrated a resounding rebound after a demoralizing loss in Philadelphia, dismantling the Detroit Pistons with a convincing 133-107 victory. Following a career-high 44-point defeat, LeBron James, alongside D’Angelo Russell’s season-high 35 points (13-17 FG and 5-7 3PT FG) and Anthony Davis’ 28 points and 16 rebounds, led the Lakers to hand the Pistons their franchise-record 15th consecutive loss.
Coach Darvin Ham attested to the evident energy radiating from LeBron James during pregame warmups, setting the tone for the dominant performance that followed. The Lakers asserted their dominance early, claiming a 38-24 lead after the first quarter, shooting an impressive 60% compared to Detroit’s 36%.
D’Angelo Russell’s standout performance, complemented by Anthony Davis’ dominance on the boards with 16 rebounds, highlighted the Lakers’ balanced attack. LeBron James, back to his productive self after the disappointing loss to the 76ers, contributed 25 points (9-19 FG and 2-6 3 PT FG) and 8 rebounds, while efficiently managing his playing time at just 29 minutes.
The Lakers’ top trio not only excelled in scoring but showcased versatility, with Russell recording nine assists, Davis securing a double-double, and James contributing both rebounds and assists. The Pistons, in contrast, struggled defensively, particularly in pick-and-roll coverage against Russell.
This victory not only snapped the Lakers back into form but emphasized the Pistons’ ongoing woes, enduring a franchise-record losing streak.
