Los Angeles — Blake Griffin’s first game back at Staples Center wasn’t quite a welcome home. As he was introduced, he got a mix of cheers and boos — and the game didn’t go much better for the Pistons, either.
Without LeBron James, the Lakers used a second-quarter surge to pull ahead and extended it to double digits in the second half, cruising to a 113-100 victory on Wednesday night.
Griffin finished with 16 points and six assists, Reggie Jackson 15 points and five assists and Andre Drummond six points and 17 rebounds for the Pistons (17-22), who play a back-to-back at Sacramento on Thursday.
