Lakers fall to Pistons in Summer League group play finale

The Detroit Pistons cruised against the Lakers in the last of their four scheduled games of 2021 Las Vegas Summer League pool play, easily defeating the purple and gold 103-86 on Saturday night despite not playing 2021 No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham.

The Lakers had a rough shooting performance for the second straight night, hitting just 42.9% of their shots from the field. In his first summer league start, Tres Tinkle showed off some of the shooting that helped propel his Oregon State Beavers to a 2021 NCAA tournament run to the Elite Eight with 13 points on 55.
