Not even close. The Los Angeles Lakers saw their nine-game win streak snapped Monday night in a 113-110 loss to the Detroit Pistons, but not without another late push that nearly stole it. Down by as many as 16, L.
A. clawed all the way back. A 20-8 run late in the third tied it at 87.
Another 7-0 burst in the fourth made it 105-105 with under three minutes left. Then, with 30 seconds remaining, Austin Reaves gave the Lakers a 110-109 lead on a floater. “We did a good job of just staying with it and got back in the game," coach JJ Redick said on the loss.
