The Pistons have struggled to shoot the ball during summer league outside of their last game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pistons continued that trend against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the Las Vegas Summer League Tournament.
The Goin’ to Work Pistons would be proud of the final score of 64-59, but it wasn’t because of gritty defense being displayed by both teams. There were some bright spots defensively for the Pistons, like their second round picks Bruce Brown and Khyrie Thomas, but overall it was just poor shooting by both teams.
