Pistons vs. Lakers final score: Pistons lose fourth straight ugly, 85-97

It looked like it might just be an ugly win for the Pistons when the bench handed the game off to the starters with 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. They took over with a 72-69 lead, but the offense was off all night for the first unit and it only got worse down the stretch.

The starters let the lead turn into a 9 point deficit before Stan Van Gundy pulled Reggie Jackson for Spencer Dinwiddie, who had outplayed Reggie all night. But but Dinwiddie at his best isn't Jackson at his best, able to carry a team to a dramatic come-from-behind-win, and the Pistons coasted to their fourth straight loss.
