If you want to know what a real Las Vegas Summer League game is like, then you should’ve tuned in for this one. This game had a total of 55 free throws, 52 fouls, 40 turnovers, and four technical fouls called between both teams. Most of these led to stoppages in play, resulting in a 1 hour and 55 minute game.
Summer League games are only 40 minutes long.
To their credit, the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons rosters were chalk full of gritty, defense-first players. Daniss Jenkins, who’s on a two-way with the Pistons, was living in the jersey of Rob Dillingham right from the jump.
