00:00Jenkins finally misses, but they get out rebounded Robinson
00:05Remember all those years he was down in Miami doing just that yep knocking down triples
00:11He's making nearly three threes a game and 40% from distances career over his career average
00:20That's good here for him, and it shows in their record
00:24The Saar Thompson hang shoots doesn't score Lakers good great. They got numbers coming down. It's five on two
00:30One of the five should have stayed out of the toe
00:34You know because they had two pistons that kind of were late coming back down on the other end
00:39I've on doing a slam dunk that time by Jackson Hayes
00:43Jenkins boy, yeah couple players in the air and Lakers get eaten up in the paint
00:49That time down the floor although they are a plus eight
00:52So far on the night
00:54I know it's easier said than done, but they've got a force thinking to go to his left hand
00:59You see Austin in at the next whistle
01:01That shot's no good boy. They get entangled underneath. They say play on
01:08Minute and ten to go in the half Austin comes in replacing Luke Kennard
01:14So get a little offense back into the contest JJ Redick and staff
01:20Luke 14 minutes shot of three times made it once they were all threes
01:25Also collected a rebound and I'll snap Tobias Harris
01:30Thompson is going to work it through the pivot
01:33Now Jenkins she's in the focal point of their offense believe it or not Thompson
01:39Robinson
01:39It's a couple in a row now
01:4440% on the years I mentioned all-time Miami leader all-time Miami leader in three-pointers made
01:53They've opened up a 14-point advantage is their biggest they have five threes in the quarter Stu
02:05Nice little shovel pass by Austin
02:07That's a defender up in the air use his left hand to the pass Laker bigs have
02:1117 points Hayes has eight in the quarter
02:16Deandre Aiton has nine in the game. How about that?
02:21Little ball fakes that's really it again throwing it up spinning around and going in all of a sudden they're
02:28shooting over 50%
02:30Lakers still stuck around 41
02:33They're hounding Luca with five with four
02:38They had a foul to give they really committed it at a perfect time
02:45Luka knew it was coming to try to throw it up make it a shooting foul gonna get a couple
02:49defensive replacements for Detroit
02:54Revert comes in
02:59As does Javonte green
03:014.7 who Reeves got fouled
03:04Jenkins maybe whistled for this file was that before the ball was thrown in that's going to be the question.
03:09Yeah, if it is
03:10That's great news for the Lakers. Well, they're not they're saying. No, so yeah
03:14That's kind of a bang back away
03:15to Austin
03:23JB pleading his case
03:25Anybody listening except for us?
03:28He's just on the line from where we are
03:32So there will be four point four no matter what happens here for Detroit
03:38To get another opportunity the Lakers free-throwing tonight. They missed four out of fourteen
03:46They're in the bottom seven
03:49In the NBA as far as free-throw percent
03:51a good idea to overplay jenkins on the inbounds pass make them sure to
03:56somebody else because with four point four he can get down the court in two
04:03No, they want to get it to him they get it to lever instead. He should get a good look
04:09That's better defense by the lakers and the shot is off but the lakers find themselves down by 13
04:18All right with the score 65 52 a reminder to stay tuned we'll send you to the access sports net
04:24studio right after
04:26this
04:29Toyota dealers we make it easy
04:33And by morongo casino resort and spa less than 90 minutes from wherever you are
04:40good times
04:43Detroit michigan and the pistons right now all over the lakers leading 65
04:49to 52 time to revisit the lexus keys to the game that talks about that rebounding so far so good
04:55I mean, they're dead even at 22 to center matchup also
04:58Pretty even i'd give a eight and a little bit of an advantage there because of the eight boards and
05:03then the ball security
05:04Only four laker turnovers the difference is the lakers are shooting the ball under so much duress
05:09They're only shooting 41 percent how the coaching staff see it mike
05:13Yes, so you just mentioned the struggles from the field and even especially early in the first quarter
05:18A lot of wide open missed threes from the lakers and you saw detroit get hot in that second quarter
05:23They hit five threes to zero from the lakers in the period
05:27Here's the thing though. Nate mcmillan did say they've been much better on the
05:30Second half of games on this road trip so far than the first half
05:34So they just have to keep responding to that constant ball pressure that you know
05:37Detroit is going to put on you they do it for 48 minutes
05:40That's why they're the number one seed in the eastern conference
05:43So the lakers know what to expect
05:45They're going to see if they can pull something out in the second half like they have previously on this
05:48trip
05:48Yeah, it's going to be important for them to uh keep possession of the ball and lebron hasn't scratched you
05:54yet first since
05:55December 2010 where he went to school was in the first half wow
06:00I mean think about that for about a second and then you're in a reality will
06:04hit you right in the face
06:06So with the first five minutes of your third has to offer
06:10Thompson was open underneath they didn't find him robinson cats off for three
06:14And that's the way they start
06:16The second half by the way second quarter reach out six haze had eight
06:21Jenkins had eight lavert six and read six in fact
06:24Detroit nine out of the ten players had four plus points
06:29Only one player did not he's the guy or holland who got a three fouls in about two minutes
06:36Austin reeds uh
06:37knocks down the three-pointer
06:38So we're right back where we started at the beginning of this half
06:42I'm in detroit they have energy they play defense and it's a deep team
06:46You may not know these players may not be household names out west but obviously as we've seen
06:52This is the reason one of the reasons why they are in first in the east and looking like they're
06:57going to hang on to it
06:59Robinson good ball fake away from eight and they rush at him it's one of those nights for him
07:05Yeah, he's a three-point specialist. He's got four made threes tonight. There's a two-hand check. That should have
07:11been a foul two hands in the
07:14body of austin lakers shot 50 percent in the second quarter, but didn't make a three
07:21Detroit shot nearly sixty percent and made five threes. That was the difference that was the difference when we got
07:27the uh
07:28And duncan robinson's uh started in this third quarter off with back to back three pointers
07:33And he's starting to feel good about himself. That's bad news for the lakers
07:38biggest lead was just a moment ago at 16
07:4270 56 ar
07:45with a dozen
07:47of course that lebron james double-digit streak is no longer an issue after he failed to get it in
07:52toronto earlier this year
07:55the last one by the way they gave
07:57robinson a two-pointer not a three so really two-pointer
08:02so that one got changed over
08:08Reeves did a marvelous job in the fourth quarter the other night
08:11as mentioned the game in orlando lakers won 105 104 again these two teams
08:18met tail end of
08:19december detroit 1-128-106 that was on lebron's 41st birthday
08:25lakers did not play well defensively in that one okay now they put it back to three
08:33so back and forth we go
08:35so robinson with the three by the way in that game in los angeles detroit scored 70 in the first
08:42half and
08:43they obviously got cooking a little bit in the second quarter and put up a nice number
08:47here tonight durn's doing a real good job of after the lakers switch
08:52he takes them to the mid post area and then seals
08:57you know detroit has won the last three against the lakers
09:01physical style of theirs a tough matchup for the purple and gold
09:07here's jake who got the start tonight with no marcus smart available or ruey
09:12hachimura again we mentioned that maxi kleba is available as they need another big jenkins the
09:20difference maker underneath then he dribbles it out of bounds just lost control of the ball
09:24as he was about to turn the corner six turnovers so far the lakers have scored five off the
09:30previous five three down the middle he goes all the way hands it off to eight and fumbled momentarily
09:37so they'll swing it around the perimeter luca fumbled it for an instant eight to shoot
09:43dodge hits he's open for mid-range and luca's got another buck and a lot of what the pistols do
09:49with
09:49doesn't be uh this ball pressure they want you to eat up the shot clock a lot you know they
09:53want
09:54you to be forcing shots with four three on the shot clock first points since uh he had 19 for
10:00luca
10:06eight now
10:07they're up against it now stew with four
10:12harris pulls up with 17 straight away taken fresh 14 for detroit
10:20the offensive rebound bites the lakers a little bit
10:22Oh, that's a good move by Harris to get himself open. Rebound now to Aiton.
10:30Anyway, Luka has passed.
10:335,000 career field goals made.
10:36He needed five to get to that mark.
10:38What a bullet pass.
10:39What a pass.
10:40Bullet pass.
10:42It's nice to play without the ball when you've got LeBron.
10:47You're open for a split second.
10:48He's going to get it to you.
10:49Now, what'd you say?
10:50How are we going to be here in the first two, three minutes?
10:526-0 Laker run.
10:54Get it down to 10.
10:59Jenkins, as the crowd settles back in.
11:02Bullhouse tonight.
11:03Underneath.
11:04Hits the heel.
11:05They get another offensive rebound.
11:08Corner.
11:09Harris got it.
11:11Second chance opportunity and another triple.
11:14Second chance points, though, at this juncture of the game.
11:17All knotted up at 13 apiece.
11:19Reeves is in deep.
11:21Trying to turn.
11:22Can't.
11:22Bottled up there by Harris.
11:25Luka trying to shake the defender.
11:26Duncan Robinson pulls up.
11:28Leaves in.
11:29That's a pretty good job by Robinson not to commit a foul.
11:32Obviously, Luka was looking for it.
11:33Now, they've got numbers the other way.
11:35And it's going to cost them.
11:36No, it's not.
11:37No, it's not.
11:38And now Luka is leaking out.
11:40He lays it.
11:40That's a layup line right there.
11:42Lays it up and in.
11:43Yeah, but Thompson was anticipating a pass to the wing.
11:47And he just stayed at home over there.
11:49And Luka just waltzed in for an easier.
11:51Now, 21 for Luka, 15 for Reeves.
11:54Those are the two in double figures for the Lakers.
11:57Four in double figures for Detroit.
11:59Good pass.
12:00But running the base and allowing the opportunity was Asar Thompson.
12:07Asar, one of three active twins.
12:10Three sets of active twins in the NBA.
12:12The Murrays and the Champagnes are the others.
12:15Dodgers right in the middle of the lane.
12:17So, he's coming out shooting, Stu, here in the third.
12:21They're going to have to come out D and up here in the third.
12:23If they want to get back in this thing, they can't keep switching.
12:28Thompson got the bucket a moment ago.
12:29He's got the basketball.
12:30He had seven steals in the game the other night.
12:33Seven.
12:34Duren lays it up and in.
12:38Six free throws for him.
12:41He hasn't even tried a three this year, by the way, Duren.
12:44He's the only guy.
12:45Here's your only guy with at least a certain amount of shots that hasn't tried those three.
12:50Duncan Robinson, no.
12:52Taken out by LeBron.
12:58LeBron looked baseline.
12:59LeBron was trying to get open to get the basketball.
13:02LeBron thought about it.
13:03Now he dives.
13:04Trying to get away from Duren.
13:06Turnover.
13:09Three on two.
13:10Duren, kick it.
13:11Three on its way.
13:13Well, that's a good job by Jake closing out on that.
13:16Might have altered the shot.
13:18Jay by Luka.
13:20Down by 13.
13:23At the other end.
13:24Reeve's score.
13:24He's not going to get the and-one, though.
13:28Jonesy get to force the timeout by the Pistons, though,
13:31as Austin can't seem to get the official to agree with his and-ones.
13:36As he said, look, I got hit on that play.
13:38The official said, well, just didn't see it.
13:41Contact.
13:41Count the basket.
13:42Lakers down by 11.
13:46SoCal's most trusted practice store.
13:48The spotlights on the three-point shooting.
13:51The Lakers have made only four of 18,
13:54while Detroit's made 10 of 19.
13:57So when you're down 18 points in three-point shooting,
14:02you can see why there's an 11-point differential in the scoreboard.
14:04Everything else is pretty even.
14:09Luka and the Lakers trying to keep this thing going.
14:13And they keep their lead as the third seed at at least two-and-a-half.
14:18They've won four in a row on the road, five in a row against the East.
14:24The only loss in the 12 out of 13 games came at Denver.
14:29Back on the 5th of March.
14:30Harris.
14:31Short.
14:32Oh!
14:32Trying to throw it down was Thompson.
14:34What a play.
14:35Wow.
14:38Harris does not travel.
14:39Pitch it into the corner.
14:41But Jenkins again.
14:42I mean, he's been hot from behind the arc.
14:45Four out of five.
14:48Now Reeves, with the basketball, has nine in the quarter.
14:51Luka has six.
14:52So they have all the points.
14:55LeBron, look at a scratch, and he does.
14:57Down it goes.
14:59Knocks down his first three-pointer of the night.
15:02Actually, his first shot of the night.
15:05All-time leading score.
15:06He's one for six from the field.
15:09Does have eight assists and five rebounds, however.
15:15Once again, a couple of big steps in the Lakers.
15:17Good play by Bron.
15:18So offense, then defense for LeBron James.
15:23Reeves and the Lakers.
15:24Down by 11.
15:26They trail by as many as 16.
15:28They led by as many as seven.
15:30Good quarter action here in Detroit.
15:32Reeves.
15:33Going to get it right back from LeBron.
15:34Little two-man game.
15:35Boy, he just shot put it that one up and down it goes.
15:39I mean, a quick three over the top of Harris.
15:4481-73.
15:45That's something about this team.
15:47The fight that they have shown.
15:50Fighting through the adversity.
15:52So what?
15:52JJ was talking about that after the game the other night.
15:55Any time they get down, there comes LeBron.
15:57It's one and three.
15:59Lay it up and in.
16:00Oh, wow.
16:01That's not an and one.
16:03He's going to hustle back, though.
16:068-0 Laker run.
16:09Pistons are this close to calling the timeout themselves.
16:12Yeah, if they don't score here and the Lakers do, you'll probably see one.
16:15Yeah, you would think it would be down to four.
16:17Boy, the block that down there quick because you're right.
16:19There was no free throw.
16:23The two on the clock.
16:24Air ball.
16:25Boy, everything's going the Laker way right now.
16:28Everything.
16:30Another run here by the Lakers.
16:31Started by LeBron's first scratch of the game.
16:33And he knocks down the triple.
16:35And then the defense, the block shot, and then the recovery.
16:39And then Reeves just continuing his scoring in the third.
16:43And then LeBron on a breakaway gets another deuce.
16:47And that puts us where we are now.
16:49The Lakers down by six.
16:50That's where he feasts.
16:52LeBron scores as many as anybody in transition.
16:56Reeves has a dozen here in the quarter.
16:59He's been the hot hand.
17:00LeBron tries it again.
17:02Tapped by Aitman.
17:03Rebound Detroit.
17:04Left wing side, Karras LaVert.
17:06He confronts Luka that good position.
17:08Now it's Jenkins.
17:10Lakers are down by six.
17:12LaVert.
17:13We're going to see Jackson Hayes in a moment for the purple and gold.
17:1610 to shoot.
17:18Jenkins.
17:19Can't lose.
17:20Reeves is stuck with him.
17:21Now it's LaVert.
17:22That's a pretty good defensive tie for the Lakers.
17:25But LaVert's just a better shot.
17:27Yeah, that's what you say, too.
17:28You know, there's times when you play good defense.
17:30Just because the offense does it a little bit better.
17:33Luka will spin away.
17:35Trying to now switch off the Pistons.
17:40Reeves, as we mentioned, he's been the man here in the third quarter.
17:45LeBron on the right wing side.
17:47Right to Austin.
17:47He'll shoot free throws.
17:49He'll be able to add to his third quarter total.
17:53I just like the way Austin continues to move.
17:55You know, he's just a real stationary guy.
17:58Just waiting for the ball to come to him.
18:00A lot of times he makes moves.
18:02He's a low dive.
18:03He just curls and ends up with a good position.
18:05Faozan Reed.
18:08Reeves from the line tonight.
18:11He's now seven out of eight.
18:12How about this right now from Jock in the Box?
18:15Hot Ness is back with spicy jalapenos, onion rings, and gooey pepper jack cheese.
18:20Welcome to Jock in the Box.
18:25A.R. has now played in 19 straight after missing all those games with the cap injury.
18:31Career highs and points and rebounds.
18:35But Detroit, been a bit of a nemesis for him.
18:38Averages his lowest scoring per game against Detroit.
18:43He's gone way past that already tonight.
18:4710-2 Laker runs, Stu.
18:49They got themselves back in the ball game now.
18:51They got a call on their defense to keep him there.
18:54Herter.
18:56He had welded Kevin Herter.
18:58Now Durant.
18:59Durant.
19:00Excuse me.
19:01Durant misses.
19:03Again, it's taken by the Lakers after the miss.
19:06Lakers can inch ever closer.
19:08Kennard.
19:08He mentioned they brought me here to shoot.
19:11Wide open.
19:13Just getting the garbage that time.
19:15He's hazed.
19:15Being in the right place at the right time.
19:17Yes, sir.
19:18Ball just came right, too, Jackson.
19:20And JB's going to say, let's just play right through it, if they can.
19:23Again, 12-2 Laker run.
19:26Holland.
19:27Rebound Lakers.
19:29They're only down by four.
19:30They have the basketball.
19:32What a quarter it's been so far.
19:35Luka quarterbacking.
19:37Has a pick by Hayes.
19:39Looking at double Luka instead.
19:41He's going to fire a three.
19:43Long shot.
19:43Long rebound.
19:44Bounces around.
19:45Taken by Detroit.
19:46Oh, it's a three-on-two all of a sudden.
19:48A couple of big steps.
19:49Who else but Jenkins?
19:51He covers some distance, can't he?
19:53What a bad foul by Herger.
19:57Wow.
19:58I mean, literally 93 feet away, he pushes Austin out of bounds.
20:03We got a timeout.
20:042-11 to play.
20:05Be in the right place at the right time, Jackson Hayes, and you'll get an easy flush.
20:0985-79 distance.
20:12Here we go.
20:13Joke-in-the-box game summary.
20:15What a night for Jenkins.
20:1720 points to score those 20.
20:19Eight assists.
20:20Has made four threes.
20:22Luka just rolling along, doing his thing.
20:24Let's encompass the player of the week for the second week in a row.
20:2823 points.
20:30Shooting under 50%, however.
20:313-point field goals.
20:33There's a little bit of your difference, obviously.
20:3511-6.
20:37By the way, the last Laker lead was 35-33.
20:419-0-7 in the second quarter.
20:43Then you remember the flagrant foul.
20:45Detroit went on a 9-0 run and took charge from there.
20:48Yeah, that kind of flipped the switch a little bit on the scoreboard.
20:56Kennard.
20:5820 games since the trade.
21:03Luka now rolling to the bucket as Hayes and said he's going to try LaRavia in the corner.
21:07Jake's got it.
21:08Jake's got it.
21:09That's a good sign.
21:10Yeah, it is.
21:11Jake hasn't been shooting it well from the corner, or from the three-point line.
21:16Remember, I mentioned coming into the game, he's just very, very poorly over the last 10 or so.
21:23Good kick by Jackson Hayes, as Duren.
21:26And made a nice dive after the screen.
21:29You know, one thing about Jake, you can count on him.
21:31Only Laker to play in, you know, all 72 games.
21:34He had been fouling a little bit too much, though.
21:36Underneath, they lay it up and in.
21:38More pain points.
21:46Donchish.
21:49Spins away from Herter.
21:51Puts it up.
21:52Can't score.
21:52They have a chance for the break.
21:54It was fumbled.
21:55So the Lakers are hustling back on defense.
21:57The trailer is LaVert.
22:00Oh, he gets up in the air.
22:01Loose ball.
22:01Take it by Kennard.
22:02Oh, and it goes for Luka.
22:03Here he goes.
22:04All the way.
22:05Score!
22:06Boy, Luka's up there.
22:07Be careful, Luka.
22:09Yeah, he just got the last one rescinded.
22:12Doesn't want to try to attempt fate here tonight.
22:16One more technical and he's suspended for the next game.
22:19Holland's been a tough night for him, to say the least.
22:23Duren's underneath.
22:24He puts it up and misses.
22:26It has not been a superstar night for Duren to Mahaney stretch.
22:30He's been under a lot of duress, both Aiden and Jackson Hayes.
22:34It will have been contested.
22:35Luka out by the logo.
22:37Heard her in front of him.
22:38Spins away from him.
22:39Going to try a three straight away.
22:40Got it!
22:41Yes, sir!
22:43We are tied at 87 after being down by 16.
22:49It's just like the team has been doing as late.
22:51They just don't give up.
22:52They just keep plugging along.
22:5420-6.
22:56Lake show run right at the end of the quarter.
23:01Shot clock is about nine ahead of the game.
23:04And they throw it down.
23:07Holland's made that play possible.
23:10Duren now has 14 on a four-for-eight night.
23:13He has made six free throws.
23:15Luka knows the time.
23:16Wants everybody to clear out.
23:18Gets a pick from Luke Kennard.
23:20With six.
23:20With five.
23:21Luka's got it.
23:22Now wide open is Kennard.
23:24Swing it.
23:24Corner.
23:25Bando.
23:26No.
23:26Oh, Hayes!
23:27Did he get fouled?
23:28Boy, he was right there with great position.
23:31But the quarter's over.
23:33Nice quarter by the Lakers.
23:34Says they really did a great job of effort.
23:38Everything was effort.
23:39And because of that effort, they found themselves in a brand-new ballgame.
23:43They trail 89-87.
23:5075th anniversary.
23:5320-8 Laker run to close the third.
23:57There's the story outscoring them.
23:5835-24.
23:59Detroit with a two-point lead.
24:01In that third, Luka had 11.
24:03Reeves had 14.
24:04They did all the damage.
24:06They were four-for-four.
24:09Two scouts, brother.
24:11Two-for-two, but three-point field goal range.
24:14All right.
24:15Lob underneath.
24:17With Jax.
24:18That was trouble.
24:18He almost got undercut.
24:20Yeah, but it's good recovery by Dern.
24:22Lakers five out of eight from three in that quarter.
24:25Lob underneath.
24:26Underneath.
24:26This is tough.
24:27Dern's there, and he gets fouled.
24:29Bando trying to make a play after being caught out of position.
24:34All right, Lake Show fans.
24:35They start this quarter with Hayes, Reeves, Vanderbilt, LaRavia, and LeBron.
24:40Luka on the bench.
24:46Dern on the free throw line.
24:53He's been there a lot.
24:54Yeah.
24:54Sixth best rebounder in the league.
24:56That's where his strength lies.
24:58How about this right now from Kia?
25:05Dern on the free throw line.
25:07Yeah, 36 double-doubles on the year.
25:09He's a rebound away from making it 37.
25:12Hadn't missed a free throw.
25:14Still hasn't.
25:15Hey, eight for eight.
25:17Looking good at the line.
25:19As a team, they're very good.
25:2289% tonight in 18 attempts.
25:26Boy, Reeves gets bumped.
25:27That's going to be over and back.
25:29Something had to be called.
25:31And they called it.
25:32Over and back.
25:32It was either going to be a foul.
25:34They fouling Austin or it was going to be a turnover.
25:36Well, one of the things you don't want to do is set that screen that close to the mid-court
25:39line.
25:40Hard to turn the corner if they level you off a bit.
25:42And they got contact and Austin just stepped in the backcourt and called the violation.
25:48Much to the Lakers' chagrin, they have given up the basketball.
25:53Levert.
25:55Pull up 15-footer right side, right hand tap.
25:58Going to get a foul.
25:59Going to go the other way.
26:00It's on Detroit.
26:01On Dern.
26:03It should be his third.
26:07And that'll be their first team foul here of the fourth and final quarter.
26:11Each team has a team foul here in the first minute.
26:14Again, the Lakers, one of the best clutch teams, if not the best clutch team in the NBA.
26:20They are 8-2 in games, decided by four points or less, including the game in Orlando.
26:28Look at this question.
26:29James with Green going down.
26:31Out on top, Reeves, they close out on him with four, with three, with two.
26:36Reeves is going to get into the paint.
26:38Down he goes, and it's going to be a 24-second violation because it did hit the run.
26:44Again, that's what their defense is really designed for, really to force you out of your rhythm offensively,
26:50make you use up so much of the shot clock, and then forcibly, not a bad shot per se, but
26:57a rush shot in the end.
26:58Now, in Detroit, they've had a favorable schedule, certainly without Cade Cunningham.
27:03That's why they're 8-2, and recently also, they have lost four out of their last five against winning teams.
27:10And the Lakers certainly qualified for that.
27:13It's a tough test for them.
27:14Laverne, tap, Vanderbilt had it, LeBron secures it.
27:19Now, with Luka on the bench, it's Reeves trying to take it across the timeline into the attacking 47 feet.
27:26Reeves, the high dribble, the lob.
27:27Oh, look out.
27:28Oh, wow, they tripped him up that time.
27:30Yeah, they did.
27:30And Hayes will be, well, the side out, obviously.
27:35He was looking to rise to the rim and try to throw down an alley-oop.
27:41Yeah, he had the inside.
27:42Thompson realized it, but couldn't do anything other than foul.
27:46For Thompson, he picks up the foul.
27:48That's his fourth, so a bit of trouble.
27:51Just something to watch.
27:53Nassar with four fouls.
27:56Back to the basket, James.
27:588 to shoot.
28:00It's into his action right here.
28:01Watch the go up and under.
28:03Boy, that's a good decision.
28:04I think he thought the defender, he was going to do that little ball away at the baseline.
28:09All right, I said the defender thought.
28:10That's what I'm saying.
28:11That's what the defender thought.
28:13LeBron outsmarted him.
28:16That's what you don't predetermine what you're going to do.
28:19Furter, catch, shoot, rebound, Durant, boy, that fell right in his lap, too.
28:24And, unfortunately, for the Lakers, that was there for the taking.
28:27That's 10 rebounds for Durant.
28:29It's a double-double.
28:29That's no basket.
28:31No basket.
28:33Fouls on Hayes.
28:37Another look at that play where LeBron did not predetermine what he was going to do.
28:41Defenders sitting there thinking, oh, he's going to do a step back.
28:44And LeBron says, no, I think I'll just go up and score, despite you slapping me upside my forehead.
28:50After tonight, just 10 left for the Lakers.
28:53Six at home.
28:53Four on the road.
28:56Furter going all the way.
28:57Jackson Hayes with some good defense.
28:59LaBert, hierarcher, rebound, Reeves.
29:03And the Lakers down by two.
29:05Have the ball.
29:07Okay, regain the lead.
29:09It's been a while.
29:10Reeves all the way.
29:11Oh, Hayes.
29:12It was down around his knees.
29:14And he was unable to get it.
29:15Yeah, he was looking for it to be up a little higher, obviously.
29:18And when he had to bend down, he wasn't able to control it.
29:21And turnovers.
29:22Each team still in single digits and turnovers.
29:25Despite all the defensive pressure.
29:28Underneath LeBerts.
29:30LeBron wasn't biting.
29:31Herder.
29:32It missed the layup.
29:33Tap, Lakers.
29:36So they blow the layup.
29:38Now, Jen.
29:38Oh, what a pass.
29:40And we're tied at 91.
29:42LeBron.
29:43Woo.
29:44Left his feet.
29:45And Steele made a great play out of it.
29:47Vando the finish.
29:49That's his first bucket of the night.
29:52LeBron has nine.
29:53Make it ten assists.
29:55That's a chance at a triple-double.
29:57Good foul by Austin Reeves.
30:01Another look at LeBron as he comes down and jumps.
30:05And look at that pass to Vandy.
30:07Really nice.
30:08Good movement by Vandy also.
30:10Don't stand still.
30:11He got a lane to the basket.
30:12Continue on.
30:13You realize LeBron has played against 36% of the players that have ever played the game.
30:20In the history of the NBA, he's played against 36% of them.
30:25That's a lot.
30:26That's a lot.
30:26That's a lot.
30:28NBA to set out that stat today.
30:31Hey, Laker fans, join on the Chevron app to get 25 cents off per gallon on your next five visits
30:37at participating stations.
30:40The way things are, that helps.
30:44Duren continues his fine shooting from the line.
30:46Nine out of nine.
30:51Boy, ten for ten.
30:52How about that?
30:53Is he leading the league in free throw shooting?
30:54He's down at 73%.
30:56If that's what leads the league, he is.
30:58Now, he looks like he's a better shooter than 73%.
31:02That's the truth.
31:04But again, doesn't have much of an outside game.
31:07Over 600 shots.
31:08He hasn't even tried a three.
31:10Underneath.
31:10Good tap by LeBron.
31:12Now, they look for the radio and they throw it away.
31:15He's got a little anxious.
31:18And kind of rushed that pass out to Jake.
31:21Yeah, there have been a case there where I thought Jackson should have caught it.
31:24And then just tried to go out for a jump hook or something.
31:26Something aggressive on the offensive side.
31:29No field goals for Detroit yet here in the quarter.
31:32So they've been shut out.
31:36Of course, they've had free throws.
31:39Underneath.
31:40Oh!
31:41Blocked by Vando.
31:41Oh, that's going to be a goal tag.
31:43Yeah, count it for two.
31:44Didn't it hit the window first?
31:46Not everybody, except everybody was running down the other way.
31:48I mean, literally everybody, all 10, were running down the other way.
31:53Good cut.
31:55Shoots it up.
31:56It touches the window and not even touches the ball.
31:59Not even close.
32:04And you know the official that made the call with the one underneath.
32:07And that's normally not a goal tag.
32:10He calls not his.
32:10It's the outside official that called it.
32:12And I think they missed it, just like every other player on the floor.
32:16Luke is stretching, waiting to get in.
32:19Hayes gets fouled.
32:21Not on top.
32:22That's going to be the third team foul.
32:23So each team now with three team fouls.
32:26And we still have eight minutes to play.
32:30Luke Kennard in.
32:31Vandy to the sideline.
32:34LaRavia, Kennard, Jackson Hayes, LeBron James, Austin Reeves.
32:39On the floor for your Lakers.
32:42After that thrilling win in Orlando.
32:45And the 65 Luka in Miami.
32:47That's off the leg.
32:48It's not a kick.
32:49Inadvert.
32:50Luke gets hit in the mouth.
32:52And they score.
32:55Boy, a lot happened right there.
32:58Yeah, they scored.
32:59Yeah.
32:59Not a kick.
33:00Not a foul.
33:01It wasn't an essential run.
33:02He threw it off the leg.
33:03That's why they say play on.
33:06It's the right call.
33:07Jackson Hayes.
33:09LeBron.
33:10Was open for an instant.
33:11Now he gets fouled in the act of shooting.
33:15And Luka is going to make his way.
33:19Luka can barely make his way to the score.
33:21Or to play right off the shin of Duren.
33:24No way he put it out there intentionally.
33:27Just play on.
33:28And then Luke gets inadvertently clipped on the chin.
33:32By the left arm.
33:34I heard.
33:35Mentioned a lot going on.
33:36But the bottom line.
33:37Two points for Detroit.
33:39But now LeBron can get three back.
33:43Picker staff is saying it was a swing through.
33:46You know, somebody's got some blood on their hand.
33:49And I think this is a blood stopper.
33:53Oh, it's not on his hand.
33:55They're checking out Luke.
33:56Luke Kennard's lip.
33:58Is it?
33:59Upper lip?
34:00Seems to be.
34:01The area.
34:02Luka who is just hurt all over.
34:05Is going to come back into the game.
34:08He's been stretching in front of us.
34:10So grimacing a little bit.
34:11Just toughening things out.
34:14All right.
34:14How about this right now from Carl's Jr.?
34:16What the clock?
34:18The new Western Bacon Chicken Sandwich.
34:21Only at Carl's Jr.
34:27I mentioned LeBron has that triple-double opportunity.
34:327-7 and 10.
34:34Remember, he scored us in the first half.
34:38Three field goals and 1-3 here in the second half.
34:44All right, Lakers in the second half.
34:45You got more on that, Mike.
34:46Yeah, this road trip, Billy, we were just thinking about how many interviews have we done with J.J. at
34:50halftime, right?
34:51We do those when the Lakers are up.
34:52And just one.
34:53So they've been getting it done, though, in the second half, right?
34:56If LeBron makes his third here, they will have outscored teams by 35 points total in the second half.
35:03Just the four games before this and then tonight.
35:05So, Bill and Sue, they're getting something going late in these games.
35:08Yeah, I mean, it's either adjustments or the fact that the team is just getting so confident in their play
35:13that they know if they just keep doing what the game plan is that they can get back in and
35:19possibly win again.
35:19Well, J.J., who's trying to become the first Laker coach, is Bill Jackson to have back-to-back 50
35:25-win season, says he's seen a lot of growth.
35:27And they say, and he says, they're playing through stuff.
35:32That's exactly what they're doing.
35:34Down here in the second half.
35:36LeBron went up, and that's going to be two points again.
35:39Another goal.
35:40See, the outshot official is the one that made that call.
35:44The one right in front of the Laker bench.
35:46Yeah.
35:47LeBron came over as a secondary defender.
35:50Boy, it looked like the ball may have still been going up, but that's a tough one.
35:54Oh, they're going to challenge.
35:56They're going to challenge.
35:58Or are they?
35:59Well, they've already signaled that they're going to challenge.
36:01Yeah.
36:02They called the timeout.
36:03They better have their mind made up.
36:05They only have 30 seconds, I believe, to decide.
36:08And J.J. said, I've decided.
36:10So, let's take a timeout and look at that play with the Lakers down by five.
36:17And it's getting by people off the dribble, but you don't realize how good he is off the ball.
36:21He moves well without it, spots up, knocks down shots.
36:25I mean, he's just one of those offensive players that you just got to pick your poison.
36:29And he says, I'll give you this, and then I'll give you that.
36:32And you don't like that, then I'll give you something different.
36:34Yes, he's really picking it up here.
36:37He's got to remember the second half shooting performance.
36:40Four out of six, including two out of three from behind the yard.
36:43Here's the goaltend, or lack thereof.
36:46Very close, I tell you, very close.
36:48That ball looked like it may have been stealing its upward climb.
36:51But again, the Lakers called a timeout, but not a challenge.
36:55Austin Reeves with his first main three tonight, became the sixth Laker ever to reach 600 made threes in franchise
37:03history.
37:04So, a nice milestone for him.
37:06Luca in very deep, falling away, comes up short.
37:1389.94, we've only had seven lead changes in this game.
37:18Lakers trail, trailback May is 16, and before they came all the way back.
37:25Harris, maintaining the dribble.
37:29Windshield wiper, blue baseline Jenkins with two, with one.
37:32He had to shoot, and he scored.
37:34That guy could play.
37:35I kind of like him a lot.
37:36That guy could play.
37:38He's under control.
37:39I mean, that's what he's doing.
37:41He's the primary ball handler, and he seems to always be under control.
37:45What a chance to shine with Cade Cunningham.
37:48Not in the lineup.
37:50And out indefinitely with the collapsed run.
37:53They don't know if he will be back for the playoffs.
37:56Banked in by Luca.
37:58Uses the equipment that time to score.
38:01So, another 30-point game for Doncic.
38:06They're going to get their defense back in it now.
38:10Have to catch him at, what, 91?
38:12It's been all 50.
38:13And they lay it up again.
38:15Not a lot of defense at the rim.
38:2120 for Durant.
38:22He knew he was going to get his eventually.
38:25Ah, bad pass.
38:26LeBron got himself caught in the air.
38:29And then right the passing lane was hurt of.
38:31Jenkins in complete control until he throws it away.
38:34Good read.
38:35And Luka.
38:35Good read by Luka.
38:37Boy, Luka's just piling up the steals, too.
38:39Luke, corner.
38:41Luke's side rebound.
38:42LeBron's got it!
38:44Battling it around.
38:45Four different pistons.
38:47Just muscle that one.
38:52Five minutes to play and five-point deficit for the Lakers.
38:58As we reach the final five minutes,
39:00but you buy the Rutgers, Casino Resort, and Spa.
39:04Good block shot by Jackson Hayes.
39:09One-oh, three-ninety-eight.
39:11Reeves having some trouble!
39:13And he dribbles it on the sideline.
39:15He's saying he got hit on the arm.
39:17Another look at LeBron's real strong offensive rebound.
39:22Ball goes up by Kennard,
39:24and LeBron's under there and just muscles being held by one player
39:30and then scoring this fight.
39:32Remember, we talked about Jackson Hayes' three blocks
39:35and how much they meant the other night.
39:36In Orlando, he has four blocks tonight.
39:41So what an effort.
39:43He's now out of the game, though, and D.A. is in.
39:47Jenkins, that's a little on big.
39:50Seven to shoot.
39:51Reeves picks himself up,
39:52and Jenkins scores around eight.
39:57Back to seven.
39:59Again, this is another crunch time, clutch time situation
40:02where the Lakers are better than anybody else in the NBA.
40:06Two free throws coming up for Luka Magic.
40:11Yeah, 4-11 to play.
40:13Luka at the line for two.
40:15So it could be a five-point game.
40:19Jake LaRavia about to check in.
40:22Well, Luka in the month of March,
40:25117 more points than anybody else in the league.

41:06That's where they stand right now.
41:09Fourth best away record in the NBA.
41:12Tied with the Celtics.
41:13Coming into tonight's action.
41:15That's a travel, isn't it?
41:16And it's kicked.
41:17And they're on the ground.
41:18There's still seven seconds and they throw it away.
41:21Boy, they were in panic mode a little bit that time.
41:24And the Lakers should and hopefully will take advantage.
41:30Under four minutes in a little housecleaning.
41:34After Robinson was on the floor.
41:37There's my buddy.
41:39Piston great Dave Bing.
41:43Big time.
41:44Big time talent.
41:45Back in the day.
41:46Big time guy too.
41:48Yes.
41:49Better off the court than he wasn't going.
41:50He's here when you were here.
41:51Correct?
41:51Yes.
41:52We were doing it.
41:53Dodge Edge.
41:55Eight.
41:55That's a good rebound.
41:57Away.
41:58From the Pistons.
41:59And they score.
42:03DeAndre.
42:03One possession game.
42:04Yeah, once again, just piling up those offensive rebounds.
42:08Lakers have five in double figures.
42:11Robinson short.
42:12They go after it.
42:13They're on the ground.
42:14The scrum.
42:16And we're going to jump it up.
42:19Good job by Jake and Luke to be involved in that.
42:23And then Jake goes down to make sure he's involved in the jump ball.
42:26Better him than Luke Kinnar because size difference.
42:33Got to treat this one as a defensive tip, though, for a few of the Lakers.
42:42A little bit of a clock issue that they're running through with the coaches.
42:48Laravia and Reed.
42:50Reed listed at 6'9.
42:52Laravia at 6'7.
42:54And he said they've got to play defensively here when you're the Lakers.
42:58The tab.
43:00Official got right in the way.
43:01He was covering up.
43:02Reed's underneath.
43:03Can't score a tab.
43:04No.
43:05We got a whistle.
43:06We got a whistle.
43:06I think that's before the tap.
43:08On the rebound.
43:09Catching LeBron on the foul.
43:15105-102.
43:16Nervous time again, Laker fans.
43:18Every night.
43:19I know you're wishing and hoping for some sort of blowout or easy win.
43:24But is it not entertaining?
43:27And again, the Lakers have said they're having as much fun as they have in a long time.
43:31There's your clutch game records.
43:3422-6.
43:36But Detroit right up there, too.
43:38One of the reasons why they are in their lofty position in the East.
43:42Leaning in.
43:42Robinson!
43:43It spun around and spilled out.
43:45And then the Lakers touch it and it goes out of bounds.
43:49Yeah, I think it was Luke Kennard who tapped it.
43:51Tried to tap it out to Jake and maybe tapped it a little too hard.
43:57So they have to play defense again.
44:00Lakers looking for their 47th win.
44:02Remember last year they totaled 50 by the time the regular season ended.
44:09They're ahead of last year's pace.
44:14Derns needs help.
44:15He threw it out of bounds.
44:16He really needed help.
44:17That's good overplay by Jake Sarabia.
44:20He wanted to go to Robinson, but Jake was not having anything to do with it.
44:24And during the last minute just threw it and threw it out of bounds.
44:29It's a three-point.
44:30Less than three minutes to play.
44:32Here's the Nissan calendar coming up.
44:34A couple of days will be in Indiana for the Pacer game.
44:37Four o'clock, pregame at three, then a three-game homestand.
44:40You've got all of these games that you see here on the network.
44:43Nets, Wizards, Cavs, and then the Thunder, part of a two-game road trip.
44:48Thunder and the Mavericks as we close down the regular season here in the next couple of weeks.
44:56All right, set it up.
44:572.55 left.
44:59And Lakers possession and one possession game.
45:01Now it's about who makes the most mistakes.
45:05Can they stop their mistakes?
45:08They're trying to survive an eight-turnover quarter.
45:12Eight points scored off of that by Detroit.
45:15So it could have been way worse.
45:18Kennard on its way.
45:20Three free throws.
45:21Here we go.
45:26Well, it's amazing how many guys are fouling three-point shooters.
45:30They ruled that Duncan Robinson hit Luke Kennard right on the wrist.
45:36The official was probably six feet away.
45:38He had an unobstructed view of it.
45:41Kennard gets two more.
45:42Lakers have shot five more free throws than Detroit.
45:48Both teams shooting free throws very well tonight.
45:5190% for Detroit.
45:53And for the Lakers, currently 84%.
45:56Well, we've got a two-and-a-half-minute game, it looks like, here.
45:59Luke probably will make this one and tie the score.
46:02I like the confidence.
46:04By the way, LeBron has seven in the quarter, four rebounds and an assist.
46:087-0 Laker run.
46:09And we are tied at 1-0-5.
46:13Here we go again.
46:15Two-and-a-half clock running.
46:19Tobias Harris with Luka trying to bustle him up.
46:23Tobias is in very deep and scores on the turnaround.
46:27Yeah, you can't leave Luka on that island like that at the mid-post that long.
46:32Got to drop down and get it out of his hands.
46:3414 for Tobias Harris.
46:36Lakers now down by a bucket.
46:392-10 clocks moving.
46:40Kennard.
46:40He's been a great two-point shooter, too, this year.
46:43His best ever.
46:44Oh, with a good position underneath was Aiton.
46:48Ooh.
46:49And they call and they whistle the foul before Aiton had an opportunity to shoot.
46:53It was well before he even caught the ball.
46:55Yeah.
46:55Duncan Robinson was bear-hugging.
46:59Now it's up to Aiton to knock down a couple of free throws.
47:02He hasn't been there yet in this game.
47:05Yeah, Lakers have been in the bonus for a long time.
47:09Lakers don't have any fouls to give either.
47:19Double-double, 10-and-10.
47:21First free throw tonight.
47:23Unsuccessful for DeAndre Aiton.
47:31One-point game.
47:33107-106.
47:35Here are the free throws.
47:36Lakers have made six more.
47:40Detroit, they've made three more threes
47:42in a defensive stance in front of Jenkins' reads.
47:46Now they switch off.
47:48Little on big.
47:49Out on top, Jenkins trying to get around Aiton.
47:51He does.
47:52Aiton was right there to alter the shot.
47:54Loose basketball.
47:55It's taken by the Lakers.
47:56They're down by a point.
47:57Minute and a half left.
47:59Trying to extend the winning streak.
48:01LeBron hangs in the air.
48:02Out to Luka.
48:04Luka guarded by their best defender, Thompson.
48:06Now it's Robinson on, and he lights this match up better.
48:10Luka really fired over.
48:12No.
48:12Open.
48:13Pernard.
48:14In and out.
48:15Heartbreak.
48:16Oh.
48:17You're about getting tapped.
48:18Whoa.
48:19How did that come back out?
48:22Lakers have switched their mindset now defensively.
48:26Need a stop.
48:27Coming up on a minute to play.
48:29Tobias Harris.
48:31Pernard's in front of him.
48:32Harris holds on to it.
48:34Six to shoot.
48:35Five to shoot.
48:36Thompson.
48:36No.
48:37Rebound.
48:38Aiton.
48:39And it's taken by Doncic.
48:42And with under a minute to play, Luka into the front court.
48:46Will there be some...
48:47Too close to the mid-court line.
48:49Will there be Luka magic again tonight?
48:52Luka, they're doubling him up.
48:54He's open.
48:55Pernard.
48:55Here he comes.
48:56Fed.
48:57Under.
48:58Aiton doesn't score, but he's fouled.
49:00He's fouled with 4-9 on the clock.
49:0339-9 on the game.
49:05And a one-point deficit.
49:08Good job by Luke Kinnard getting past Duncan and then a nice entry pass.
49:13And you can see that Jenkins from behind got the contact.
49:18Two more free throws.
49:20Did DeAndre just miss one of two?
49:27Hung on the rim.
49:29Again, that flat shot of his.
49:33Hung on the rim.
49:34Just get it over the front lip, and you got a shot, DeAndre.
49:38And it disappeared.
49:4061 percent.
49:43Big time.
49:44To take the lead.
49:46Lakers lead.
49:48Timeout, Detroit.
49:50Wow, what a finish we're having again.
49:5539 seconds left to play.
49:57The Lakers by one.
50:00Reveling in that free throw.
50:01108-107.
50:02Detroit led 105-98.
50:04Four and a half to go.
50:05Then a 10-2 Laker run.
50:07And that's where we're at.
50:10Well, it's going to be interesting to see how the Pistons attack this.
50:13I'm sure they'll probably get the ball into the hands of Jenkins.
50:16With his speed, he'll be able to probably drive and kick.
50:21Or do they seek out a mismatch they like for a screen?
50:27Of course, Dern is a great choice underneath if they want to go to him.
50:32Jenkins tonight has 24.
50:34And as you said, he has the basketball.
50:36He races towards the rim.
50:38Throws it over his head.
50:40As he was fouled.
50:41He's going to go to the line anyway.
50:43Yeah, they're out of fouls.
50:45Very good job of anchoring that pivot foot because he was moving.
50:48And when he stopped, that right foot was the pivot foot.
50:52And did it slide a bit?
50:54He said no.
50:55He was on skates a little bit right there.
50:57I knew he was going to turn the corner.
50:59He's so quick.
51:00On the free throw line, Jenkins.
51:04First free throw tonight, believe it or not.
51:07Got it.
51:08All that action that he has been involved in, and that's his first free throw.
51:13Thompson returns.
51:15Of course, a great defender.
51:17And their offensive threat, Robinson, out.
51:21Lakers maintain the five that were on the floor.
51:24It depends on when the Lakers take their shot.
51:27Do they get a two-for-one?
51:29Not a rush to, but it depends on how long they are holding the ball
51:34and setting up their offense before they take that first shot.
51:37Timeout, Lakers.
51:39109-108, 34.6.
51:42What are the Lakers drawing up here?
51:45Well, each team has a timeout remaining,
51:49and the Lakers have a challenge remaining.
51:53Detroit does not.
51:54How about the standings right now?
51:56Of course, this was one of ten games tonight.
51:58Thunder and Spurs still battling for number one.
52:02Lakers in that lead over the Rockets, the Nuggets, and the Timberwolves.
52:06The Suns have been fading.
52:08And you see the others, the Clippers, the Blazers, and the Warriors.
52:11They will all be involved in the play-in.
52:14You know, we talked about LeBron not having a point in the first half,
52:19but he's sitting right now a rebound away from a triple-double.
52:23I mean, this guy just pitched his spots.
52:25He knows when he needs to do what he needs to do,
52:28and in the second half, he's been doing quite a bit.
52:34Yeah, he's been sacrificing, obviously, a lot of his scoring recently with Reeves and Luka.
52:40When all three came back, everybody was wondering, is it going to work?
52:44How's it going to mesh?
52:45Because, again, it hasn't been a ton of games with all three of them together on the floor.
52:49But during this streak, they have been.
52:52And it shows you what is possible with this team.
52:57You've got Luka taking it out, but everybody lined up at the backcourt.
53:02So an interesting alignment.
53:04And here they come, running towards the basketball.
53:06Luka's got to get in, and it's five, and does.
53:09Austin Reeves.
53:11Reeves is in the lane.
53:12Reeves, his shot is good!
53:14Austin!
53:15And he did it real quick.
53:17Now they still can get the last shot.
53:21They're up by a point.
53:22They always need a defensive stop.
53:25But if they don't get it, they get another opportunity.
53:28Nice play set up.
53:30Nice finish by Austin Reeves.
53:38Make it 10 in a row.
53:40And 13 out of 14.
53:43And A.R., what a go-to guy.
53:44So much trust in him, Stu.
53:46Yeah, because he's able to get it to the rim off the dribble quicker than any other Lakers.
53:50No timeouts remaining for Detroit.
53:53Remember, Orlando didn't have one late in the game after Redick hit it.
53:58On the other side, it's down!
54:01Now the Lakers, the shot clock and the game clock are almost synced up.
54:06There's about a second difference.
54:09The Lakers are down by one.
54:10Looking for the lead!
54:11No!
54:12Rebound!
54:13Down!
54:13Got a foul.
54:14And they're still not fouling, and they finally deal with nine seconds.
54:18And again, the play they set up for Jenkins, going to his right.
54:23You come out with your plan, you say, look, we're forcing things offhand.
54:29Jenkins gets it, turns the corner, going to his dominant side, then just elevates up and scores rather easily.
54:37And Luka takes it down, misses the shot, and they had to foul that same Jenkins.
54:42And he's at the line to shoot, too.
54:44You know, it's funny, I said a shot by Redick, of course, the shot by Kennard to win it.
54:49But now, here, you've got to just watch these free throws, and down it goes.
54:55K.J. and Luke, of course, both went to Duke.
54:58But now it's, you're going to have an opportunity.
55:01They do have a timeout left.
55:03The Lakers, no timeouts left for the Pistons.
55:12And this is for a three-point lead, and what a game.
55:17Jenkins looking for his 30th point.
55:22Timeout.
55:24Los Angeles.
55:26It's really been a good performance by Jenkins.
55:29Steady all night long.
55:34Time in a number of games, and the first time tonight with a meeting of three.
55:39So many on the floor right now, though, capable, Stu.
55:44Inbound pass is the important thing, and then from there, what do you do?
55:47Down by three.
55:48It's off of Aksi.
55:49It's taken by Luka.
55:50They need three to tie.
55:51With four.
55:52With three.
55:53Luka to tie the game.
55:57And Detroit hangs on and ends the Lakers winning streak.
56:04What a finish.
56:05It was quite, quite a finish here.
56:09This crowd got their money's worth.
56:20Now Detroit proves why they are number one in the East.
56:27They never got a good look.
56:28That's a really good defensive play.
56:30And it kind of was out of whack at the beginning because of the fumble and the good defense right
56:36off the inbound pass.
56:37Yeah.
56:38Yeah.
56:39You know, obviously it would have been nice for the Lakers to win their 10th in a row.
56:43But, you know, you can't let one loss deter anything.
56:46You got to just come back, get the next one in Indianapolis, and start a new streak.
56:50Very doable win if they can get it in two nights.
56:54All right.
56:55That'll do it here.
56:56Lakers go down 113 to 110.
56:58They are now 46 and 26 on the season.
57:02Make sure to catch our next Telecast Wednesday at 4 when the Lakers do take on the Pacers.
57:07Time now to check in with the studio for Access Sportsnet Lakers.
