LOS ANGELES – The Lakers rejected the Pistons' upset attempt. Literally.
In winning their 29th game of the season Sunday night, Frank Vogel’s squad racked up 20 blocked shots against Detroit, only one short of tying the franchise record. To put that in perspective, the Lakers came into the game leading the NBA with 7.1 per night.
They sure needed every last one of them, as their scrappy opponent fought until the end in a duel that was tied with 4:41 to go in regulation.
The game was bizarre from end to end, as the Lakers held Detroit 37.
