LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kobe Bryant had 17 points, eight rebounds and nine assists to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Detroit Pistons 97-85 Sunday night for their second win and to avoid the worst 10-game start in franchise history.
Jordan Clarkson scored 17 points and Los Angeles snapped a four-game skid in its return from a long East Coast trip. The Lakers are only 2-8, but that's one game better than last season's Lakers. They finished with the worst record in the franchise's history.
Andre Drummond had 17 points and 17 rebounds for the Pistons.
