1. Schroder missed four of his five shots and scored only two points but he had two assists and was able to organize the offense when needed.“I think the biggest thing for both of them [is] just getting their wind,” Lakers forward Anthony Davis said. “But both of these guys played huge for us, got us big buckets and got us back in the game.”
This is Schroder’s second go-around with the Lakers. He spent the 2020-21 season with the Lakers. He spent last season with the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets.“It was great,” he said. “We got the ‘W’ and that’s all that matters. I’m looking forward to Sunday.”His shot has betrayed him all season, but he got back on track against the Pistons, making all four of his shots, including both of his three-pointers, in scoring 10 points off the bench.
During the four days the Lakers had off this week, Nunn said he spent each day at the team’s practice facility working on just his jumper. “I really just got my rhythm in those four days,” he said. “I was glad we got that little time off to get in a groove and I took each day, all four days I was locked in.”They shot 87.5% from the line .
