The LA Lakers visit the Detroit Pistons on Monday night in search of their fifth win. Meanwhile, the 2-5 Pistons will look to record a consecutive win for the first time this year. LA is entering this contest behind a 131-125 win over the Toronto Raptors, snapping a two-game losing streak.
The Lakers rode behind another MVP-caliber display from Anthony Davis, who ended the night with 38 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and two blocks, shooting 14 of 20. LeBron James also contributed heavily, tallying 27 points, six rebounds and 11 assists on 9 of 17 shooting, including five 3s.
The Lakers held a 76-43 advantage at the half, but nearly gave up that lead with some sluggish play in the second half. They will hope to put away the Pistons if they create that kind of separation again.
