The Pistons suffered their franchise-record 15th straight loss as a result of the Lakers’ victorious performance, which was highlighted by D’Angelo Russell’s season-high 35 points, Anthony Davis’ 28 points, and LeBron James’ 25 points. In addition to highlighting the Pistons’ difficulties, the Lakers’ impressive performance sparked conversations about LeBron’s lasting influence and the growing divide between his individual accomplishments and the combined efforts of an NBA team.
Lakers destroy the Pistons to hand them their 15th consecutive defeat.
After suffering a crushing defeat in Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off an incredible comeback, crushing the Detroit Pistons 133-107. LeBron James led the Lakers to a career-high 44-point victory after the Pistons suffered their franchise-record 15th straight loss. D’Angelo Russell scored a season-high 35 points (13-17 FG and 5-7 3PT FG) and Anthony Davis added 28 points and 16 rebounds.
LeBron James’s obvious energy during the pregame warmups, according to coach Darvin Ham, set the tone for the dominant performance that followed. The Lakers showed off their strength right away, leading 38–24 at the end of the first quarter after shooting an astounding 60% of the field against Detroit’s 36%.
The Lakers’ well-rounded attack was highlighted by D’Angelo Russell’s outstanding performance and Anthony Davis’s dominance on the boards with 16 rebounds. After the disappointing loss to the 76ers, LeBron James was back to his usual productive self. He managed his playing time well, scoring 25 points (9-19 FG and 2-6 3 PT FG) and pulling down 8 rebounds in just 29 minutes.
The starting three players for the Lakers were excellent not only in terms of scoring but also in terms of their versatility. Russell had nine assists, Davis had a double-double, and James had both rebounds and assists. On the other hand, the Pistons had trouble stopping Russell, especially when it came to pick-and-roll coverage.
In addition to helping the Lakers return to form, this win highlighted the Pistons’ continued problems as they went through a franchise-high losing run. In an attempt to build on this significant victory and further distance themselves from the most recent loss in Philadelphia, the Lakers now turn their attention to a matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
