HOOPSWORLD | NBA News, Rumors and Information Quote:
The Lakers finished the game with 35 free throw attempts, more than double Detroit's total of 16. After the game, Flip Saunders addressed the officiating, and specifically referee Jack Nies. "I told our guys at halftime, if you piss Jack off early, he's going to be on you the rest of the game," said Saunders. "He's a guy that will control the game."
Chauncey Billups was also frustrated with some of the calls, but he choose his words carefully in the locker room so as to avoid any potential fines. One topic he did spend a lot of time talking about was the play of the bench, who brought the Pistons back into the game with their play in the fourth quarter. "Our bench won us the game. Tay hit the shot but our bench really won us the game," he said.
