RECORD YTD 70-55 (.560)
SIDES 44-36 (.550)
TOTALS 26-19 (.577)
Pistons won here in game one.
Lakers came without any intensity in the first game and paid the price. Intensity is instigated defensively and you can be sure the Lakers will be aggresive defensively in this 2nd game. Will it be enough to cover the 8? I don't know. I do know that the Pistons will have more trouble finding easy baskets this game. In the first game the Pistons found the easy baskets and still missed a lot of them, that is something they have done in the playoffs, as they are only hitting 40% of their shots.
When in trouble, the Lakers turn to their defense specially at home were they are money on the UNDER this season. (17-32 O/U) What can you say about Detroit's defense except that they also bring it on the road (17-31 O/U).
Detroit leads the league in the number of UNDERS with 58 including playoffs. The team in second place? Lakers with 55. Don't see both teams cracking 80.
UNDER 169
