Pistons' forward Jerami Grant's 32 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds performance was not enough to turn the tide for his team.

This contest was also significant as Lakers' LeBorn James and Pistons' Isaiah Stewart were on the same floor for the first time after their fight at NBA game on Nov. 21.

At the previous game between two teams, two players were tangled up after exchanging a few words.

After a free throw, Stewart had begun to get more worked up while his teammates, coaches and officials tried to hold him back.

Soon after a fight had broken out between the two, James had stroke Stewart in the face, cutting open his eye, and both players were ejected as a result.

NBA suspended Stewart for two games for "escalating an on-court altercation by repeatedly and aggressively pursuing James," while James got his first suspension of his career for one game for "recklessly hitting" Stewart in the face.
