It was a block party Sunday night in Los Angeles and the Lakers showed for another night why they are the most feared team in the NBA when it comes to blocking shots, racking up a total of 20 blocks on their way to a 106-99 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
LeBron James had a triple-double of 21 points, 14 rebounds and, 11 assists while Anthony Davis led the way for the Lakers with 24 points, 11 rebounds and a game-high eight blocks.
While the Lakers led for much of the night, they were never able to truly pull away the same way they did in their previous two games where they pushed leads far into the double-digits before eventually letting their opponents back in the game. The Pistons made things difficult but the Lakers ability to block shots, with 22 blocks to just six for Detroit.
Anthony Davis, as usual, led the way with the blocks but JaVale McGee had six blocks and Dwight Howard had five off the bench.
Derrick Rose had a game-high 28 points off the bench in the loss for Detroit.
The Lakers have one more game on their remaining homestand, Tuesday night against the New York Knicks before playing seven of their next nine games on the road.
