Redick says officiating had effect on Lakers in loss

""I think there's probably a level of frustration when you're turning the ball over and you're feeling like you're getting fouled," Redick said. "There's frustration there, for sure. But I mean, again, I said it even here, we said it this morning: They're going to foul every possession. It's just, you got to play through it.""

""They're going to foul on every possession, probably three or four times," Redick said during his pregame remarks to reporters. "And that's not a knock, I'm not saying it in a negative way, but they're going to foul three or four times on every possession. [And the officials are] not going to call a foul on every possession.""

""We've got to definitely match their physicality," Doncic said. "That's the whole point. We got to match how they play. You saw the refs let it go, so we should play [with] physicality, for sure.""

The Detroit Pistons turned a tight contest into a 128-106 rout by using aggressive, physical defense and repeated fouling. Detroit forced 21 turnovers that resulted in 30 points. The Pistons were called for 26 fouls while the Lakers were called for 24; Los Angeles attempted 31 free throws and Detroit attempted 29. Lakers coach JJ Redick acknowledged frustration with officiating and predicted Detroit would foul on many possessions. Luka Doncic had a team-high eight turnovers and said the Lakers needed to match the Pistons' physicality. Lakers guard Marcus Smart was struck in the face by Duncan Robinson and received a technical foul after arguing.
