The Detroit Pistons handed the Los Angeles Lakers their 30th loss of the year on Sunday night despite only outscoring the purple and gold by just two points in the final quarter. D’Angelo Russell played just under three minutes in that final frame, something that’s been a trend this season.

Hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin discussed that and the rest of their takeaways from the loss on the latest episode of Locked on Lakers. Learn more about your ad choices.
