\"Phoenix Suns 100, \"Detroit Pistons 88:\u00a0 Box Score<\/a> | Game Detail<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS \u2013 Dominant defensive efforts in the first and fourth quarters, along with a spirited game-ending run, fueled the Phoenix Suns to a 100-88 victory<\/a> over the Detroit Pistons in a 2026 NBA Summer League<\/a> matchup at Thomas and Mack Center on Wednesday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Impressive performances from their two most recent first-round picks played a pivotal role in the Suns\u2019 success. The 2025 No. 10 overall pick<\/a>, Khaman Maluach, scored a team-high 23 points and added a game-high 15 rebounds, while the 2026 No. 30 overall selection<\/a>, Koa Peat, contributed 19 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rasheer Fleming, a 2025 second-round pick, was next with 22 points, eight rebounds and one steal. Javonte Cooke furnished 12 points and five boards.<\/p>\n

The game did have a bit of a rollercoaster quality to it, as the Suns saw a 27-13 lead after one quarter whittle down to four by the start of the final period. However, Phoenix nailed down the win with an impressive 11-1 run over the final three minutes to win going away. The Suns held the Pistons to a combined 27 points in the first and fourth quarters while outscoring them in the paint, 52-36.<\/p>\n

Brice Williams paced the Pistons with a game-high 24 points, adding six rebounds and four assists. Isaac Jones generated an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Pistons return to action Friday against the Miami Heat in a consolation game, while the Suns will meet a to-be-determined opponent on Saturday in a playoff matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Suns defeat the Pistons, 100-88, improving to 3-1 at the 2026 NBA Summer League. \u2022 Download the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,24619,82,5406,6694],"class_list":["post-804624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-pistons","tag-sports","tag-summer-league","tag-suns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
