Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder game preview
The Houston Rockets are 2-0 in the Summer League, and will put that perfect record on the line tonight against the 1-0 Oklahoma City Thunder. Houston wraps up the Summer League “regular season” on Thursday, and then there’s either a final or a tournament. Or something I don’t think the Rockets have ever really been in the tourney, and it doesn’t appear that they care.
The Rockets have shut down Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason. This is in addition to ending Amen Thompson’s Summer League time short after his ankle injury in the first game. Smith Jr. was probably the frontrunner for Summer League MVP, and Eason was probably pushing for another All First Team for the Summer League.
