The Los Angeles Lakers (17 - 46) defeated the Detroit Pistons (23 - 40) 93 - 85 on Monday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. While they were down one after the first half, the Lakers went off in the second, out - scoring the Pistons 44 - 35 to finish the game and pull off the eight - point victory in front of their home crowd. While both teams struggled to just 23 percent from the three - point line, the Lakers grabbed the advantage from the field, finishing at 43 percent from the floor, while the Pistons went just 39 percent. The Lakers also held a significant advantage from the free throw line. They went 26 - for - 30 from the line, while the Pistons made just 13 - of - 19 attempts. Leading the way for the Lakers was Jordan Hill, who went 7 - for - 15 from the field to score 16 points, while adding three rebounds as well. It was his second start in a row at forward, but this game marked a much better result, as he posted just eight points in Sunday's start against the Mavericks. He's now averaging 12 points and eight rebounds on the year. Wesley Johnson also played a factor in the win and finished with 13 points (2 - 6 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 8 - 8 FT) and two steals in 33 minutes. He's picked it up offensively of late, averaging 14 points over his last five games, despite averaging just 10 points on the season. The Lakers got some needed production from their bench, with both Jeremy Lin and Ed Davis reaching double figures in points. Lin recorded 12 points (1 - 4 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 9 - 12 FT), seven rebounds and five assists, while Davis posted 13 points (6 - 8 FG, 1 - 2 FT) and six rebounds of his own. While he did n't do much offensively with just four points, Carlos Boozer was a big help on the boards and finished with 10 rebounds. Despite the loss, the Pistons saw a strong effort from their frontcourt duo of Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond. Monroe finished with a team - high of 24 points (10 - 14 FG, 4 - 8 FT), while adding nine rebounds and two blocked shots as well. He's been one of the few bright spots during the Pistons' seven - game losing streak, as he's averaged 20 points and 9 rebounds over his last three games. Drummond, on the other hand, recorded 14 points (7 - 11 FG) and a game - high of 21 rebounds. He's been an animal on the boards for the Pistons, recording 18 or more rebounds in three of his last four games. Also getting into the action on the offensive side of the ball was Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Caldwell-Pope went 5 - for - 14 from the field and 4 - for - 10 from the three - point line to score 15 points. He has n't been shooting the best recently and has shot less than 40 percent from the field in each of his last six games. Reggie Jackson struggled with his shot as well and finished with just two points (1 - 9 FG, 0 - 4 3Pt) in 22 minutes. The Lakers' next game will be at home against the New York Knicks on Thursday, while the Pistons will travel to Oakland to play the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
