Torrey Craig put up 27 points and 11 rebounds as the Denver Nuggets ousted the Houston Rockets for their first win in Las Vegas Summer League. The final score was 87-81, and the Nuggets held on due to an excellent defensive performance throughout.
Juancho Hernangomez sat out this game against the Rockets to preserve his body for playing with the Spanish National team. In his place, Petr Cornelie was given the start next to Nikola Radicevic, Malik Beasley, Tyler Lydon, and Robert Carter Jr.
