Cade Cunningham scores 20 points as Pistons sweep Lakers in season series The Pistons (13-17) and Cunningham again went at Reaves, with the Lakers guard forcing a late-clock miss. The team had 3.7 seconds and one last chance to get a tie, but James missed an open three just before the buzzer. “It was something we work on,” James said of his final shot. “We work on end-of-game stuff every day. We got the look we wanted and it just didn’t go.” Monday’s loss was a testament to the Lakers’ growing understanding of the way they need to play, aided by some welcomed offense provided by 14 successful three-pointers — the most for the Lakers in five games.
