The Detroit Pistons beat the Los Angeles Lakers 128-106 on Tuesday night in a nationally televised game on NBC and Peacock. Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff credited soccer and sunshine for the victory, but the Lakers' defense played a part as well. Detroit shot 63% from the field and 46% from three in the win.
Since it was a Lakers loss, the focus had to be on the performance of LeBron James and/or Luka Dončić. Since it was LeBron's birthday, Reggie Miller focused on Luka. After one play which was shown on replay multiple times, the Hall of Famer went in on Dončić for his lack of help defense.
