NBA Summer League 2019: Scores and Highlights from Tuesday's Las Vegas Results
The Las Vegas Summer League continued its action on Tuesday, and while the early-event hype has tapered off a bit with a number of top prospects being kept out of action, there were still plenty of intriguing players and teams to watch on day five.
Below, we'll break down all of the action.
Utah Jazz def. Portland Trail Blazers, 97-93
Anfernee Simons had the performance of the Summer League to date, and it still wasn't enough to beat the Utah Jazz.
Despite his 35 points on 13-of-18 shooting from the field, which included going 6-of-8 from three, the Trail Blazers fell to Utah, 97-93.
Simons also added six rebounds, two assists and two steals, though he didn't get much help from his teammates, with Gary Trent Jr. posting 12 points as the team's second-leading scorer.
Utah was led by Tony Bradley (17 points, seven points, two steals) and Tanner McGrew (17 points) led the way for Utah.
The Trail Blazers will next face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, while the Jazz are next in action that same day at 8:30 p.m. ET against the Houston Rockets.
Atlanta Hawks def. Indiana Pacers, 87-67
No De'Andre Hunter, no problem.
The Atlanta Hawks did just fine without their first-round pick on Tuesday, knocking off the Indiana Pacers 87-67 behind Jordan Sibert's 21 points off the bench, all from beyond the three-point line (7-of-9 from deep).
Charles Brown added 15 points for Atlanta, while Alize Johnson (18 points, 10 rebounds) led the Pacers. Indiana struggled immensely on the offensive end, shooting a woeful 35.2 percent from the field as a team.
Hunter, meanwhile, was held out of the matchup with a sore knee.
The Hawks will next be in action on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. ET against the Washington Wizards, while the Pacers will face the Toronto Raptors that same day at 6 p.m. ET.
Miami Heat def. Orlando Magic, 96-92
Tyler Herro is having himself a heck of a summer.
The 2019 first-round pick was the star of the show again on Tuesday for the Miami Heat, hanging 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists on the Orlando Magic in a 96-92 win.
Herro showed off both his scoring and playmaking ability in the win:
Kendrick Nunn chipped in 19 points and eight assists for the Heat. That spoiled big performances from Amile Jefferson (24 points, 15 rebounds, two steals) and DaQuan Jeffries (21 points, six assists, three steals).
Orlando will next face the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. ET, while the Heat will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves that same day at 7 p.m. ET.
Oklahoma City Thunder def. Croatia, 84-76
Croatia remains without a win at the summer league.
This time, the international team couldn't get past the Oklahoma City Thunder, losing 84-76. Kevin Hervey (13 points, five rebounds) and Khadeen Carrington (12 points, five assists) led a balanced effort for OKC, while the high-flying Hamidou Diallo added 11 points.
And then there was Darius Bazley and this block:
Pavle Marcinkovic and Marin Maric led Croatia with 12 points each.
The Thunder will next face the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, while Croatia is in action Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Memphis Grizzlies def. Phoenix Suns, 79-69
The Memphis Grizzlies continued their Las Vegas Summer League dominance with a 79-69 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Tyler Harvey scored 16 of his team-leading 19 points in the first half to help propel the Grizzlies to their third straight double-digit win in Vegas, giving them a perfect 3-0 record.
Keenan Evans added 15 points and five assists.
Brandon Clarke, the 21st overall pick in the 2019 draft, finished with nine points, eight rebounds and a plus-25 for Memphis. That performance followed up a 17-point effort in 17 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers two days prior.
James Palmer Jr. led the Suns with 18 points, and Elie Okobo contributed 15.
Memphis will look to stay undefeated against the Boston Celtics on Thursday at 10:30 p.m., and the Suns will take on the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday at 9 p.m.
Boston Celtics def. Denver Nuggets, 95-82
Carsen Edwards's scorching-hot summer league play stretched through Tuesday as his team-leading 23 points in just 23 minutes vaulted the Boston Celtics to a 95-82 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
Edwards, who has averaged 19.0 points through three summer league games, knocked down five of his seven three-pointers.
The ex-Purdue star wasn't the only draft pick to shine for Boston. Grant Williams amassed 16 points and eight rebounds, and Tremont Waters added 12 points and five assists.
Brandon Goodwin dropped a game-high 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting for the Nuggets, who also received a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double from Jarred Vanderbilt.

Chris Boucher scored a game-high 23 points, and Malcolm Miller added 19. Dewan Hernandez had a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double, including this putback slam:
Knicks wing RJ Barrett, the third overall pick of the 2019 draft, showed much improvement after scoring just 18 points on 7-of-33 shooting over his first two games. Against the Raps, the 19-year-old scored 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting in addition to recording 10 rebounds and six assists.
Mitchell Robinson dominated the post with 13 points, 14 boards and three blocks. Kevin Knox scored 15 points but only made three of his 15 field-goal attempts.
Ignas Brazdeikis, the 47th pick in the 2019 draft, added nine points.
The winless Knicks play the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. The 1-2 Raptors will take on the Indiana Pacers Thursday at 6 p.m.

Clark finished with 24 points and eight boards, and Clemons contributed 20 points, including a 6-of-11 performance from downtown.
