• Pistons 103, Lakers 86: Box score | Game details

Despite playing without first overall pick Cade Cunningham (calf) and Killian Hayes (concussion), the Detroit Pistons benefited from a balanced and efficient offensive effort from their starting five to topple the Los Angeles Lakers 103-86 in an MGM Resorts Summer League battle at Thomas and Mack Center on Saturday night.

The Pistons set the tone for what would be a prolific offensive night by emerging from the first quarter with a 29-17 lead.

Luka Garza generated a 20-point, 14-rebound double-double that also included three assists and one steal. Spencer Littleson furnished 17 points, six rebounds and two assists. Jamorko Pickett and Saddiq Bey delivered matching 13-point tallies while pulling down eight rebounds and dishing out six assists, respectively. Anthony Tarke turned in 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal.
