Summer League Recap: Pistons Beat Lakers Without Cade Cunningham

The Los Angeles Lakers continued Las Vegas Summer League action with their fourth game on Saturday night, taking on the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons, of course, had the No. 1 overall pick in this past draft and used it on Cade Cunningham. The Lakers did not get to see the young, dynamic playmaker though as he sat this game out along with another experienced Pistons player in Killian Hayes.

L.A. had a prime opportunity to take advantage of the Pistons’ missing players but was still unable to do so, falling 103-86.

It was the Pistons that got off to a hot start as they used some outside shooting to take a double-digit lead in the first quarter.
