Los Angeles -- The Pistons, desperately searching for their first road win, played their second game in as many days in Crypto.com Arena on Friday, but the outcome remained the same as their previous eight games in opposing arenas.
Detroit was hindered by frontcourt foul trouble for the majority of the night and Anthony Davis dominated the interior with 38 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 128-121 victory.
The game was close early in the fourth quarter as Detroit trailed by just one point, but Los Angeles guard Austin Reaves scored six points in the first three minutes of the period to give the Lakers a seven-point cushion.
