Aside from getting his body back right, Cade Cunningham said shooting was his focus this summer. Very, very small sample size, but may the 3-ball start falling like we eventually thought it would?
On that, Ausar’s force & more following the Pistons’ win:

Even though they’re all “unofficial” games, Pistons rook Ausar Thompson hasn’t had less than 8 boards in any of the games he’s played — four-Ish SL and three preseason.
Impressive not just because he’s a wing, but because Detroit has played with two bigs in all of those games. – 11:59 PM

That was a dime from Cade to Stew. The bigs have done a good job of punishing smaller guys all preseason.
Detroit has done a better job of generating easier baskets so far this preseason. Needs to carry over, obviously. But it was a chore to score last year. – 9:03 PM

Vasilije Micic looks much more comfortable tonight, good high father and floater through the lane there for a bucket. He is up to 4 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. – 8:57 PM

I imagine Duren or Stew (if not both) come back after the timeout. Chet has been cooking since they went off the floor. Thunder up by nine now. – 8:54 PM

A 3-pointer on one end. A two-handed block on the other. Quite a sequence for Chet Holmgren, who has three blocks (two of the two-handed variety) in seven minutes. – 8:53 PM
