- Updated: November 16, 2015
The Los Angeles Lakers put together a complete game with all players on board, to defeat the Detroit Pistons last night, 97-85.
Kobe Bryant, after a few days of rest, helped pace the team to the victory. Bryant’s 17 points, 9 assist and 8 rebounds was just what the team needed to break out of a four-game skid. Jordan Clarkson added 17 points 6 rebounds and dished out 3 assist.
Nick Young was the leader off the Lakers bench, in last night’s win. Young scored 13 points, 4 of 6 from the field and was perfect from both the 3-point and the free-throw stripes.
Despite a solid game from Pistons Center Andre Drummond,(17 points and 17 rebounds) which also included a statement dunk over Nick Young and a good bench play from Spencer Dinwiddie, the Pistons had opportunities to put away the Lakers but failed to do so.
