After a 1-4 road trip, the Los Angeles Lakers returned home to face the Detroit Pistons. With Andre Drummond leading the league in rebounding, the Lakers had to make a concerted effort to rebound the basketball as a team if they wanted a win. Behind Kobe Bryant’s near triple double, the Lakers escaped with a 97-85 win.
With Kobe resting after playing a season-high 37 minutes, the Lakers take the short flight out to the desert for their matchup with the Phoenix Suns, hoping to start their first win streak of the young season. Los Angeles will be playing the Suns on the second night of a back-to-back and Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight will provide the defense with a challenge.
