For most of the first half, the Lakers were in Globetrotter form, the ball whistling around from one player to the next. But this time, the Lakers were too loose, the ball squirting free to trigger a three-on-one fastbreak for the Pistons. In the Lakers’ final home game before the All-Star break, Davis dominated all over the floor, shooting, scoring, passing and defending as his team beat the lowly Pistons 125-111. It’s the Lakers fifth win in their last six, with the team team playing Wednesday in Utah before heading into the All-Star break. The Lakers had 32 assists as a team, the 12th time they’ve had 30 or more in their last 18 games.
