Lebron had 33 points, nine assists and no confrontations with Stewart in the Lakers' 110-106 win

James had 33 points, nine assists and no confrontations with Stewart in the Lakers' 110-106 victory Sunday night.

Russell Westbrook had 25 points and nine assists, and Anthony Davis added 24 points and 10 rebounds. The Lakers returned to .500 with their second win over Detroit in eight days, rebounding from an embarrassing triple-overtime loss to Sacramento on Friday.

"That Sac game lingered with us for a couple of days, giving that game away," Davis said. "I think we did a good job defensively tonight, getting this kick-start to a winning streak."

Stewart was booed repeatedly and zealously by the Lakers' crowd, but he appeared to have no significant interactions with James after both players were ejected from the teams' meeting in Detroit a week earlier for an ugly altercation.

James was assessed a Flagrant-2 foul and ejected when he hit Stewart in the face while they jockeyed for rebounding position. An infuriated Stewart repeatedly attempted to charge at James in the aftermath, earning his own ejection. James served a one-game suspension and Stewart got a two-game ban.

Stewart kept the pot stirring Friday by saying he didn't think James' blow had been accidental, as James claims it was. The 20-year-old Stewart is 3 1/2 years older than James' oldest son, Bronny.

James was well past the brouhaha before the rematch.

"We were mad as heck the other night after that Sac loss," James said. "We made it a point to come in today very focused on our game plan, learning from our mistakes, and we got better. Right there lets me know we're a team that cares and wants to get better."

The Pistons also didn't feel there was any extra juice to the rematch.

"It's just basketball," Jerami Grant said. "Things happen on the court, but you've got to get your mind right and get ready to play."
