This Saturday night game went a little longer than expected, but the Lakers ultimately sealed the deal with a 135-129 win over Detroit in double-overtime. After losing to the Pistons about a week ago, the Lakers weren't letting it happen again, even if that meant going past regulation.
The problem the team seemed to be having in tonight's contest was that there was not a consistent focus for the full 48 minutes. The Lakers were up by 17 in the third, but let the game slip out of their hands at the end of the fourth.
Turnovers were detrimental tonight with each opponent clocking in 23 respectively.
