Brandon Jennings led the Pistons with a double-double of 23 points and 14 assists, including a play of the season candidate alley-oop off the backboard to Andre Drummond (14 points and 13 rebounds) near the end of the second quarter.
Los Angeles had strong outings from a number of their wing players, as Jodie Meeks (19 points, four three-pointers), Nick Young (19 points, one steal) and Wesley Johnson (13 points and two assists) all contributed for the Lakers.
The team would score the final 10 points of the third quarter to take a 79-71 lead into the fourth, capped off with a three-pointer by Jordan Farmar as time was expiring.
