The Detroit Pistons were undaunted by the Los Angeles Lakers when they had two stars.

So, they're certainly confident their team concept will be successful against them now with only Kobe Bryant in purple and gold.

Rasheed Wallace paced five Pistons in double figures with 24 points and Detroit pulled away in the third quarter on its way to a 102-93 victory over the Lakers on Sunday night.

Bryant had 39 points on 12-of-28 shooting, a week after scoring 81 -- the second-highest point total in NBA history.
