The Detroit Pistons entered STAPLES Center on a three-game winning streak, but left after it turned into an unexpected house of horrors on Halloween night.
The scares were supplied by the Lakers’ offense, which saw seven players score in double figures on their way to a 113-93 victory.
“They dominated us,” Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. “Their energy, they were better at both ends. They played harder, they played sharper. It was a humbling experience, I think, for our guys. It certainly was for me.”
The Lakers (3-4) wasted little time exerting their will, as they took the lead for good midway through the first quarter.
