ORLANDO - The Detroit Pistons opened up Summer League play with a 76-72 win over the Utah Jazz.

First round draft pick Andre Drummond had 8 points, 5 boards and 2 blocks in his Pistons debut.
Second year point guard Brandon Knight added 17 points in the win.
The Pistons trailed by 9 heading into the half, but an explosive third quarter helped the team overpower a Jazz run at the end of the game.
The Pistons play the Orlando Magic on Tuesday at 3:00 pm. That game, and all other Summer League games, can be seen on NBATV.
