NBA fans erupt after Detroit Pistons win over LA Lakers

Since the NBA does not schedule games on Election Day, Detroit Pistons they were quickly back in action on Monday night. After their victory in Brooklyn, they returned home to host LeBron James and the LA Lakers.

Despite being in the second leg of a home/road back-to-back, the Pistons were able to secure their first winning streak of the season. Thanks to strong backcourt play, Detroit was able to defeat the Lakers by a final score of 115-103.

Following a big win over LeBron and company, Pistons fans flooded social media to share their excitement over the win:

For the second straight game, the Pistons were led by a balanced offensive attack. Jaden Ivey led the game with 26 points, but six players finished the game in double figures. Cade Cunningham was among the other notable performers, posting his first triple-double of the regular season (17 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists).

As for the Lakers, they were able to get good outings from both stars. However, it wasn’t enough to earn a win over the Pistons on the road. Anthony Davis scored 37 points and LeBron James finished with 20 points and 11 assists.

Bench scoring would be a key factor in this matchup as the Lakers were only able to produce 10 points from their second unit. Meanwhile, the Pistons got 27 points from the four players JB Bickerstaff brought off the bench.

After the back-to-back wins, the Pistons have a day off on Tuesday before returning to action on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
