All well that ends well comes handy to Houston who had a surprising 95-92 win over the Portland Trail Blazers in the last of the NBA Summer League schedule at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Facing consecutive disappointment all throughout the League Portland ends in three losses now following a 2-0 start while coach Roy Rogers appreciated the team effort and progress. Veteran Guard Antonio Blakeney 23 points lead, Michael Beasley’s, and Emmanuel Mudiay’s 14s were good sparks for
Blazers while CJ Elleby stood out with 13 points with 10 rebounds but shot just 4 of 13 from the field. Rookie Greg Brown III was also impressive in the second quarter with his moves when Elleby and Brown bag Rogers’ praise as the latter finished with 13 points and eight rebounds and electric dunks. Elleby talked about his spot on coordination with Brown in the downcourt.
