Hayward has scored at least 15 points in each of his first four summer games, and Williams added 10 boards to his stat line on Friday.

Enes Kanter, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2011 NBA draft, posted 15 points and eight rebounds for the Jazz, continuing an impressive summer campaign, and forward Jeremy Evans added 11 points, six rebounds and four blocks.

Boston Celtics 94, Orlando Magic 73

Dionte Christmas scored a game-high 21 points for the Celtics on Friday in his best game of the summer, adding five rebounds, four assists and three steals in the process.

E'Twaun Moore posted 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting. He's scored at least 15 points in four of his five games this summer.

As for the Magic, rookie forward Justin Harper scored 16 points, but he shot 6-for-17 from the field. Charlie Westbrook added 14 points, while Dequan Jones posted 10 points and seven rebounds.

Detroit Pistons 71, Philadelphia 76ers 67

Rookie guard Kim English put a little English on the ball on Friday, scoring 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting (4-for-7 from the three-point line). You may remember he scored 18 points against the Utah Jazz to start off his summer league campaign.

Forward Austin Daye added 10 points and 11 rebounds. He's scored in double digits in all five of his summer league games.

Rookie forward Devin Searcy led the 76ers with 10 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in a disappointing offensive effort overall for the team.

Brooklyn Nets 90, Indiana Pacers 77

The Nets may not land Dwight Howard this summer, but, hey, they won their first game of the summer - look on the bright side!

MarShon Brooks continues to look like an emerging player in the NBA, posting 34 points on Friday on 13-of-27 shooting. He also added six assists. Since an 0-for-10 effort against the Orlando Magic to start the summer, Brooks has looked sharp.

Rookie forward Tornike Shengelia added 16 points, four steals and three blocks for the Nets.

As for the Pacers, Lance Stephenson added 19 points - backing up strong efforts against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics - while Orlando Johnson added 17 points.

Atlanta Hawks 102, Washington Wizards 82

Meanwhile, Wizards star rookie Bradley Beal racked up 22 points, including two blocks. Chris Singleton added 20 points, eight rebounds, four steals and two blocks.

Houston Rockets 93, Toronto Raptors 81 

Remember that guy the Houston Rockets stashed overseas last season?

Well, that guy - center Donatas Motiejunas - just dropped 25 points and grabbed nine rebounds in his first summer league game of 2012. Did I mention he shot 11-for-13 from the floor?

Sure, this is summer league basketball, but that has to be encouraging for the Rockets.

Also, Chandler Parsons (16 points) and rookies Terrence Jones (17) and Jeremy Lamb (16) all had big days. Jones added nine boards.

As for the Raptors, they saw their own rookie, guard Terrence Ross, post 21 points in his first summer league game. Ed Davis (18 points, eight rebounds) and Bobby Brown (15 points) also had nice days for Toronto.

Golden State Warriors 90, Los Angeles Lakers 50

Yes, you read that score correctly.

Rejoice, Warriors fans. Even if this is summer league, you may never get this result again against the Lakers.

Harrison Barnes, who was selected No. 7 overall in the draft this year by the Warriors, had a big showing in his first summer league game of 2012, scoring 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting while knocking down all four of his three-point attempts.

Second-year sharpshooter Klay Thompson added 24 points, six rebounds, five assists and two blocks on 9-of-13 shooting. Warriors fans hope to see more of that during the regular season.

As for the Lakers, they shot 27 percent from the floor. Sure, they didn't play any starters (including Kobe Bryant), but, hey, that's still pretty bad.

Rookie guard Darius Johnson-Odom scored just three points and missed all eight of his field-goal attempts. 

Positives: second-year guard Andrew Goudelock scored 14 points, albeit on 5-of-15 shooting.

The Bobcats rolled over the Kings on Friday, with six players scoring in double figures.

Center Byron Mullens led all scorers with 20 points, while chipping in seven rebounds. No. 2 overall pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist posted 18 points, eight rebounds, five assists and four steals in his first summer league action.

As for the Kings, No. 5 overall pick Thomas Robinson had a big day, scoring 19 points, while rookie guard Josh Akognon scored 15 points.

The Kings shot 37 percent as a team, while the Bobcats shot 48 percent.

Jamar Smith scored 13 points, helped by his 3-for-6 performance from behind the arc.

Enes Kanter showed his value on Thursday, scoring 12 points on 5-for-6 shooting while cleaning up the glass to the tune of 11 rebounds. He's not dominating like a No. 3 overall pick should be, but he seems to be getting there.

Ben Hansbrough led all Pacers' scorers with 18 points, but wasn't the picture of efficiency, going 3-for-9 from the field.

Miles Plumlee scored in double figures for the third straight game, chipping in 15 points and six rebounds.

Indiana Pacers 77, Boston Celtics 85

Jared Sullinger continued to impress as he dropped 16 points and eight rebounds en route to leading his team to a victory of the Pacers. 

Five Celtics scored in double figures, including E'Twaun Moore, who dropped 15 in a nice effort. 

On the other side of the court, Lance Stephenson led the Pacers with 16 fairly inefficient points while rookie Miles Plumlee had 18, including two thunderous dunks.

Julian Mavunga also continued his case for a training-camp invite, as he scored eight points, pulled down 12 rebounds, dished out three assists and tallied three steals. 

Oklahoma City Thunder 83, Detroit Pistons 62

OKC's roster appeared to have less talent coming into this one, but 15 points from Lazar Hayward, Reggie Jackson and Garrett Temple led the rout for the Thunder.

The Pistons got 18 points from Austin Daye while Andre Drummond chipped in 10 points, nine rebounds and four blocked shots.

Other intriguing players, such as Kyle Singler, Kim English and Brandon Knight, looked mediocre for the Pistons in the loss. 

Brooklyn Nets 71, Philadelphia 76ers 79

The Nets fell to 0-3 during the Summer League, but MarShon Brooks (18 points) looked better this time around in the loss. 

Additionally, the Nets were powered by Tyshawn Taylor (12 points), Bryant Dunston (14 points) and Tornike Shengelia (17 points).

In the winning effort, the 76ers were once again led by Justin Holiday, who dropped 18 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the three-point line to go along with six rebounds. The older brother of Jrue continues to make a name for himself. 

Utah Jazz 79, Orlando Magic 75

The Magic suffered the defeat, but rookie Andrew Nicholson continues to be one of the best players in Orlando. The St. Bonaventure graduate scored 16 points on just seven shots in just 16 minutes.

The Jazz, on the other hand, got a balanced effort as Kevin Murphy, Jeremy Evans, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks all scored in double-figures. There's a chance you could see all four of those guys in a Jazz uniform this year.

July 10 Results

Utah Jazz 84, Philadelphia 76ers 80

The Jazz protected their home court with a team-wide effort, as 13 different players scored against the 76ers.

Second-year guard Alec Burks stole the show with a 31-point performance in just 29 minutes of play. A minor contributor for the Jazz last year, Burks will force his way into the lineup with more efforts like this one.

Rookie Jacob Pullen was the high-point man for the 76ers, scoring 23 points and chipping in with four assists. 

Indiana Pacers 78, Oklahoma City Thunder 74

The Pacers beat the Thunder, logging their second-straight victory this summer. For the Thunder, it was their second-straight loss.

Guard Lance Stephenson was the star of the game, posting 28 points, seven assists, three rebounds and a steal for the Pacers. This is Stephenson's third year as a pro, and he has not yet made a big impact on the court during the regular season for the Pacers. 

Perhaps more performances like this one will propel him towards more meaningful playing time.

Third-year pro Lazar Hayward was the top performer for the Thunder, posting 15 points and eight rebounds.

Detroit Pistons 79, Orlando Magic 74

The Magic didn't get a strong outing from their summer-leaguers, and they were beaten as a result. 

Fourth-year pro Austin Daye was the top performer of the day for the Pistons, as he dominated the paint for 24 points and chipped in six rebounds.

The high-point man for the lowly Magic was rookie Andrew Nicholson, who put up 13 points and six rebounds after a monster 24 point, 12 rebound performance in his first game against the Nets.

Boston Celtics 82, Brooklyn Nets 73

The Celtics won their second-straight game while handing the Nets their second-straight loss. 

Second-year guard E'Twaun Moore scored 15 points to lead the Celtics in scoring, but it was once again Jared Sullinger who stood out in a positive way. He posted only eight points, but he dominated the glass for 12 rebounds—four of which came on the offensive end.

Veteran forward Al Thornton led the Nets with 16 points and eight rebounds in a losing cause.

July 9 Results

Orlando Magic 92, Brooklyn Nets 88

The Magic defended their home court by beating the team that they might be sending their superstar center to in the coming days.

Andrew Nicholson, the No. 19 overall pick out of St. Bonaventure, was the star for Orlando. He finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds, with a huge and-one in the paint to gain a three-point lead with time expiring.

Kyle O’Quinn, a second rounder from Norfolk State, also showed some promise. He put up 16 points, with 14 of those coming in the first half.

Boston Celtics 73, Oklahoma City Thunder 65

OKC can’t catch a break and hasn’t been able to win a contest since Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Thunder started this summer league off on the wrong foot and were outmatched by the Celtics' young guns.

Jared Sullinger was the star, putting up 20 points and grabbing six rebounds coming off the C's bench.

Perry Jones III, another talented player who slid in the draft, notched 16 points for the Thunder. 

Detroit Pistons 76, Utah Jazz 73

Utah had a nine-point lead at halftime, but the Pistons youngsters battled back. Second-round rookie Kim English hit 18 points. 

The Pistons also saw some nice progress from Kyle Singler. He hit for 14 points. Singler was selected by the Pistons in the 2011 draft, and spent last season playing overseas. 

Indiana Pacers 69, Philadelphia 76ers 63

This was not a pretty game. At the end of the first quarter, the score was tied at 12. Indiana took control in the second half as they managed to score over 20 points in both the third and fourth quarter. 

The Pacers Orlando Johnson looked very solid for Indiana on his way to dropping 19 points and grabbing nine boards.
