After a long game, with the Rockets being behind for most of it, the squad fell to the Nuggets 87-81. Houston will play in a consolation game later in the week. The Nuggets, on the other hand, will go on to play the Brooklyn Nets in the second round of the Summer League tournament.
The Negatives
Since the Rockets lost, let’s start with the negatives. Zhou Qi most certainly did not have his best game ever. He finished with 4 points and 3 rebounds and looked lost out there at times.
Chinanu Onuaku struggled on offense as well and had a poor last possession of the game.
