I give the Lakers credit for hanging in there. They pressed the Pistons and made C-Note work, and work, and work. The pressing was a good idea because it didn't allow the Pistons to get into their sets quickly and Detroit looked very bad in the 4th quarter. Also, it is clear that Flip has little trust in Arroyo, at least for this game.
