Pistons overcome LeBron's triple-double, beat Lakers 117-114 to sweep their season series
LeBron James had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the 120th triple-double of his career, but he missed a 3-point attempt right before the buzzer. Only Nikola Jokic (11) has more triple-doubles this season than the 39-year-old James (8).
Jaden Ivey scored 18 points for the Pistons, who have beaten Phoenix and Los Angeles on the road to win back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 17 and just the third time all season. Detroit, which beat the Lakers at home last month, also snapped a seven-game road losing streak against the Lakers since 2017.
Detroit led 117-106 with 2 1/2 minutes to play, but the Lakers scored eight straight points capped by James' driving layup with 46 seconds left. After the Pistons got a foul overturned by video review with 28.9 seconds left, Cunningham missed a 3-pointer before James missed his open 30-footer.
Anthony Davis had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers.
Lakers: Their 20 turnovers showed their inattention to detail, and the Pistons' 117 points showed their lack of defensive focus.
