Detroit — No matter the records, it’s a marquee game on the schedule when the Los Angeles Lakers come to town. It might have a little bit more sauce when the Lakers are the defending champions and the Pistons, struggling through their season, don’t have anything to lose.
Whatever it was, it was fun.
The Pistons played their best wire-to-wire game of the season and surprised the Lakers, surging to a 107-92 victory over the defending champs on Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena. It’s the second win in the last three games for the Pistons (5-14), who were on the second night of a back-to-back, like the Lakers.
