NBA Summer League almost feels insignificant on the historic day that Portland Trail Blazers legend Damian Lillard returned home to the franchise. But the key word in that sentence was almost.
Blazers rookie Yang Hansen and the boys of summer added to the good vibes in Rip City Thursday night with a 102-83 takedown of the Houston Rockets. In a game of runs, the Blazers had the last laugh, pulling away in the final quarter to win comfortably.
Yang had an up-and-down game in his fourth outing in Las Vegas, but still managed to display the gifts that make him such a special prospect.
