Daniss Jenkins knocked down a go-ahead jumper to put Detroit up by one with 25 seconds remaining.
After a Lakers miss, Jenkins drew a foul on Austin Reaves and calmly sank his free throws to extend the lead to three.
Luka Doncic had one final chance to tie the game, but his attempt from beyond the arc was way off.
Jenkins led the way for the Pistons with 30 points, eight assists, and four rebounds.
Jalen Duren also delivered a strong performance, recording a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
