The Orlando Summer League has arrived this year, and will continue through July 12. From July 12-22, the Las Vegas Summer League takes place. But lets focus on the Orlando League. Games started July 7. The first game was the Houston Rockets vs. Philadelphia 76ers. Terrence Jones led the Rockets to an 88-80 victory. Michael Carter-Williams flirted with a triple-double, but missed 6 three-pointers and had 9 turnovers. Then the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic took the stage. The tandem of Victor Oladipo and Romero Osby dominated, leading Orlando to a 95-88 win, while Kelly Olynyk played strongly for the Celtics squad. The Jazz and the Heat were next. Dionte Christmas stepped up for the Jazz's 69-59 victory, while an unexpected Heat player, Ian Clark, poured in 15 to keep the game close. OKC- Indiana followed quickly. For OKC, Dwight Byucks had 12 points and 13 assists, while Grant Jerrett led OKC in scoring with 17 points. Orlando Johnson also poured in 17 for Indiana. OKC won 76-68. Closing out the day, we had the Pistons playing the Brooklyn Nets. Andre Drummond had 12 points and an incredible 16 boards in a 76-67 victory for Detroit. For Brooklyn, Ty Taylor had 17 points and Jason Kidd somehow managed to get his first technical as a coach.
The Summer Leagues are the best way to watch young and upcoming prospects. NBATV carries all the games for both leagues all July long. Summer League Broadband is $14.99 for your computer and mobile devices.
