Special to The Detroit News
Los Angeles — Seven days after an altercation between Detroit center Isaiah Stewart and Los Angeles superstar LeBron James resulted in both players being suspended, they were back on the court, facing off in the teams’ second and last regular-season meeting Sunday at Staples Center.
Cooler heads prevailed and while there was no hint of retaliation by Stewart or his teammates, the Pistons showed fight on the floor for the full 24 minutes of a 110-106 defeat to the Lakers—their sixth consecutive loss. Detroit resumes its five-game road trip Tuesday night in Portland.
