Victor Wembanyama's first NBA game had a tough act to follow.
While the San Antonio rookie waited to make his NBA summer league debut Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets, the game before his ended with a thrilling finish.
Jabari Smith Jr. sank a three-pointer at the buzzer to rally the Houston Rockets to a 100-99 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in a game that saw two top-five picks unable to finish the game because of injuries.
Scoot Henderson, the No. 3 selection, injured his right shoulder during the third quarter and did not return for Portland (0-1).
