The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the New Orleans Pelicans in their third summer league game with a final score of 93-87.
Portland was led by the play of third-year player Rayan Rupert, who had yet another dominant performance, this time to the tune of 24 points, three rebounds, one assist, and two steals with a game-high plus/minus of 27. Rupert's efficiency was also encouraging, shooting 9-of-12 from the field and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc.
