Las Vegas — The opening game was almost a dud for the Pistons.

They trailed at halftime and looked to be in trouble before their three best players shined in the second half and helped lead the Pistons to a 96-80 victory over the Croatia National Team in the first game of the NBA Summer League on Friday afternoon at Cox Pavilion.

Khyri Thomas had 26 points, including seven 3-pointers, in 31 minutes. Svi Mykhailiuk added 17 points and five assists and Todd Withers had 16 points and four rebounds for the Pistons, who will face the Blazers on Saturday afternoon.
