Detroit Pistons defeat the Los Angeles Lakers, 102-97
To salvage a disappointing road trip, the Detroit Pistons defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in a close one at the Staples Center, 102-97.
It wasn’t pretty nor easy for the Detroit Pistons Sunday night.
Once again they started with zero energy and had to dig themselves out of a double-digit hole for most of the first half.
In the second, it was a neck-and-neck battle with neither Detroit nor L.A. streaking off with a sizable lead.
By the end, the Pistons fortunately came out on top and finished 2-3 on the road trip.
Detroit now travels home for an easier stretch of games where hopefully they can turn it around.

A. Like Marcus Morris, Tobias Harris came to play Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Harris had a team-high (with Morris) 23 points and seven rebounds. Additionally, Harris has proven, during a dark and struggling time, he’s one of the bright, consistent spots for the Detroit Pistons moving forward.. PF. Detroit Pistons. TOBIAS HARRIS
