Led by the two of them, the Lakers scored 37 points in the second quarter to extend their lead to more than 20 points in one fell swoop.

In this game, the Lakers were in full state, and all the players in the starting lineup scored double-doubles and maintained efficient output, especially the thick eyebrows were full of state at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and they got two double-doubles early, and after the third quarter of the game, they sent 6 hot pots on the defensive end and got 20 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks of quasi-triple-double data, and dominated the game at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. James played efficiently and got 20+, Russell also got 20+ data, and the whole team blossomed more, and finally easily defeated the Pistons at home and won the game.
On the Pistons' side, the efficiency of this game was not high, and the starters Vontecchio and Thompson were in good shape, but the team's highest score was only 13 points at the end of the third quarter, so it was obviously unrealistic for them to narrow the gap and win the game. For the Pistons, it is to run in the lineup during the game, train young players, and provide opportunities for Kai Anning and Ivey to grow.
