Pistons’ Comeback Effort Stalls Against NY Despite Holland’s Stellar Performance

Promising Performances Highlight Pistons’ Narrow Loss

Resilience defined the Detroit Pistons’ Friday night clash against the New York Knicks at Las Vegas Summer League. Despite trailing by 20 points in the third quarter, the Pistons’ rookie duo of Ron Holland and Marcus Sasser spearheaded a valiant comeback. Their combined 17 points in the fourth quarter brought the team within one point, but Sasser’s last-second jumper fell short, resulting in a 91-90 loss.

Ron Holland showcased his potential, setting a Summer League career high with 20 points, six rebounds, and two blocks on 8-for-19 shooting. Crucial moments in the fourth quarter saw Holland scoring in transition and finishing at the rim, underscoring his off-ball scoring ability. Marcus Sasser, battling shooting woes, found his rhythm late in the game, adding 24 points and revitalizing his Summer League performance.

Bobi Klintman, Detroit’s second-round pick, delivered another solid game with nine points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. His consistent playmaking stood out once again, making him a reliable asset for the team. The Pistons (2-2) now look forward to their final Summer League game on Sunday.
