After the game, former Lakers player and current TV commentator James Worthy commented on the game during the show: "The Pistons have won 5 games this season, but they beat the Celtics, Suns, The 76ers, the Heat and the Lakers. The Lakers lost to the Pistons in Detroit. Everyone thought this game was a revenge-style victory. Many opponents were absent and other players got more opportunities. The game became very difficult at the end of the game. Ugly, but the Pistons have a group of very professional players. If you don't limit them, they can really play well. The Lakers played too loosely, made some mistakes, and stalled offensively. In the end, the Lakers had to rely on LeBron. (James) hit a three-pointer to win the game, but this is not the way the Lakers hope to win. The Lakers no longer actively run on the court, and the Pistons made them pay. I am glad we won the game. An ugly victory, but we will gladly accept it." Worthy said.
