The Los Angeles Lakers were back in action Tuesday night to take on the Detroit Pistons. After dropping their last five, the team looked to improve on their previous play and find ways to close the game. Tuesday was the second time the two teams met with the Lakers getting the victory back in December. The Pistons come in with new point guard after trading for Reggie Jackson, who will be a restricted free agent in the off-season. Check out the highlights provided by TWC SportsNet below:
