In the previous two years, the Pistons made it to the championship game of the eight-team Orlando Summer League.

In switching to the big tournament in Las Vegas, they had a bigger challenge and a bigger tournament, with all 30 NBA teams represented.

The Pistons again made another run in the tournament, but ran out of steam, falling to the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers, 101-78, in the quarterfinals on Sunday afternoon at Thomas & Mack Center.
