Pistons look to play a more cohesive game in their second outing
Game Vitals:
The Detroit Pistons struggled in a game-one Summer League loss to the Philadelphia 76ers . They were out of sorts against a zone defense and did not have a natural point guard on the roster. Marcus Sasser did his best but not only did he struggle to get his team into a cohesive offense, he also struggled with his shot. Rookies Ron Holland and Bobi Klintman showed some flashes. Holland had some straight line drives that made you take notice, and Klintman had some solid passing/cutting/shooting possessions. But everything was a bit of a mess.
The Rockets have a plethora of young talent, including rookie Reed Sheppard. He was knocking down shots in his first pro game, and will look to build on that in game No. 2.
