In a boxing match reminiscent of the dismissals of LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart, the Lakers managed to prevail with a 121-116 victory over the Pistons in Detroit.
The game seemed divided from the beginning and the hosts managed to finish with a 68-61 lead in the first half, while at the beginning of the third period they entered the floor with the accelerator. However, after the LeBron-Stewart incident, the Lakers managed with more concentration to close the gap and in the last two minutes to reach the valuable victory (9-9 this season).
Leading the winners was Anthony Davis with 30 points and 10 rebounds, while Russell Westbrook had 26 points (9 rebounds and 10 assists) and Carmelo Anthony added another 18 points.
In the opposite camp, the one who stood out was Jeremy Grant with 36 points and Hamidou Diallo scored 17 points, while Cade Cunningham (No. 1 in NBA Draft 2021) had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists and became the youngest player in the history of Pistons who did triple-double.
In the other games of the night, the Bulls managed to beat the Knicks relatively easily, starring DeMar DeRozan who had 31 points (5 assists, 5 rebounds), while Jacques Lavigne added 21 points (6 rebounds, 4 assists) and Lonzo Ball offered 11 points (7 rebounds, 5 assists) to the “bulls”.
The Warriors, for their part, had Jordan Poole (33 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) and Andrew Wiggins (32 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) on a great night, who scored 65 points and helped Golden Golden reach 15-2 this season.
