Beijing time on November 22, Lakers challenged Pistons away. In this game, the Lakers performed not stable enough. When the team took a 4-point lead in the first quarter, they were attacked by the Pistons 42-31 in the second quarter. At the end of the half-time, the team was 7 points behind the Pistons. In the third quarter, the Pistons scored 31 points again in a single quarter, defeating the Lakers by 8 points, widening the score gap to 15 points. In the final quarter, the Lakers worked hard to narrow the score gap. They made a high-quality counterattack in a short period of time, and successfully tied the score gap at the last moment of the game.
At the critical moment, the Lakers' Davis stepped forward. He helped the team score with his personal ability, and the Lakers also overtook the score. In the last minute, Grant made two free throws, and he helped the team narrow the score gap to 1 point. Then Tucker made a layup, Davis blocked and scored. The Lakers led by 5 points, and the game also lost suspense. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Pistons 121-116, reversed 17 points, ending a three-game losing streak.
The main player data of the two teams in this game: James 10 points and 5 assists, Davis performed well, he scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks in the whole game, and he played dominant performance on both ends of offense and defense.

In this game, Lakers core James and Pistons young player Stewart clashed, and both players were expelled. This was the second time James was expelled from the field in his long career. Expelled from the field is very rare in James's career. James started for 22 minutes in this game, scored 10 points and 5 assists from 4 of 7 shots, and his condition is not bad.
But fortunately, after James was expelled from the Lakers, Davis and Westbrook stood up. These two players took over the team's offense in the last quarter. They helped the team score with their personal abilities in succession. When they were behind in big scores, Davis and Westbrook became the team's most shining players in the game. Their outstanding performance in the last quarter successfully helped the team win this game. In this game, Davis and Westbrook became key players in the Lakers' ability to reverse the Pistons.
From the perspective of the game process, although the Lakers won this game, the team still had many problems, such as insufficient communication on the defensive end, which gave the opponent a lot of opportunities to score easily. At the same time, when facing the Pistons' defense, the team does not have a good solution, and can only rely on the stars' personal ability to score, etc. The Pistons are not a strong team. At the beginning of the new season, their record is less and more, ranking at the end of the Eastern Conference.
And when facing such a team, the Lakers still need to fight until the last moment to reverse and win. It is undeniable that the current Lakers are not in good condition. Even after James returns, the problems in the team's lineup have not been solved. For this team, it may take a long time for them to get on track.
