The first head-to-head meeting between Chet Holmgren and Jabari Smith Jr. was an underwhelming affair for both rookies, but Smith did get the final laugh thanks to the Houston Rockets' 90-88 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Summer League play.
Houston closed the game on a 7-2 run in the final 74 seconds to steal the victory.
Smith nearly posted a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds, but he made just five of 19 field-goal attempts. The Rockets forward also had three blocks and four steals in 31 minutes.
