The Trail Blazers opened their 2019 Las Vegas Summer League stint with a 93-73 loss to the Pistons. Detroit’s shooters took advantage of Portland’s late rotations on the perimeter and connected on 15 three-pointers. Trailing by double-digits for long stretches, the Blazers were unable to put together enough stops to complete a comeback. Anfernee Simons showed off his favorite midrange moves, but struggled at times against the Pistons’ rotation of sturdy guards.
Providing analysis directly from Las Vegas, Blazer’s Edge contributors Steve Dewald and Miles Custis exchanged their thoughts on the Blazers’ result against the Pistons.
