Key Points:
- The Boston Celtics defeated the Charlotte Hornets 87-75 in their second Las Vegas Summer League game, overcoming a slow start with strong defense in the final three quarters.
- Dillon Mitchell stood out with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 6 steals, and 2 blocks, showing strong defensive energy and potential if he can improve his three-point shooting.
- John Tonje impressed with his shooting and all-around play, while Chris Cenac Jr. showed promising decision-making and defensive potential despite poor shooting percentages.
- Milos Uzan is contending for a two-way contract spot with solid playmaking and confidence, though he may ultimately be a camp cut-and-stash candidate.
- Amari Williams had a mixed performance with 4 blocks but appeared tentative and inconsistent, raising questions about his NBA rotation potential given his age and development needs.
