Bryant had 39 points and 10 rebounds, but didn't get a shot on the final possession, which ended with Lamar Odom's airball. Bryant had an unusual triple-double, adding a career-high 11 turnovers to his scoring and rebounding numbers.

The Pistons have won nine straight over the Lakers, including three games to win the 2004 NBA finals.

Detroit led by as much as 17 in the first half, then fell behind when Bryant scored 10 straight points to put the Lakers ahead 62-58 with 4:18 left in the third.

The Lakers led 72-67, entering the fourth, and it was seesaw game the rest of the way.

Prince led the Pistons with 22 points while All-Stars Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton scored 16 and 14, respectively. Rookie reserves Arron Afflalo and Rodney Stuckey added 10 apiece.

Bryant didn't have much help.

Derek Fisher scored 15 and Ronny Turiaf had 12 points.
