The Pistons were without Richard Hamilton but it didn’t matter. The Lakers were dominated in the paint as the Pistons out-rebounded them 49-32, and it’s hard to win a game when that happens. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers in scoring with 19 points and 4 steals. Lamar Odom had a good game with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Luke Walton had a decent game with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Brian Cook had a decent game off of the bench with 10 points and 5 rebounds.

The Lakers didn’t look good last night and fell to 4-3 on the season.
