Kevin Huerter went off for 24 points (9-of-14 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals and five blocks over 35 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers.

Huerter provided a significant spark off Detroit’s bench, helping the Pistons claw back from a nearly 30-point deficit with 10 points in the third quarter. His most impressive moment of the period, however, came as a facilitator rather than a scorer, as he threaded a nifty no-look, over-the-shoulder pass to teammate Daniss Jenkins for a corner three. He also posted an unexpected five blocks as well. His sublime all-around effort helped make up for an off-night for franchise building block Cade Cunningham, who was held scoreless in the first half and finished with just 14 points. The Pistons have a three-game week on tap that features a pair of matchups against the lowly Wizards before a road tilt against the Heat.
