Starting Five propel Rockets over Blazers in TVSL opener

July 6, 2006
The first game of the Toshiba Vegas Summer League pitted the Houston Rockets against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Rockets used an early 11-0 run after trailing 4-0 to start the game and never looked back, winning 88-80 over the Blazers. Point guard John Lucas led the Rockets by recording a double-double with 26 points (10-17 FG) and 10 assists in 35 minutes of action. Sharp shooters Steve Novak (8-12 FG) and Pat Carroll (9-14 FG) shot a combined 17-29 and accounted for 22 points a piece. Lonny Baxter chipped in 10 points, while Chuck Hayes added eight. Lucas, Novak, Carroll and Hayes were the only Rockets to score in the game. Novak who hit six of his eight three point attempts was happy to start his NBA career off on the right foot. It was a great feeling to get off to a good start, Novak said. This is a good shooting gym and I was happy to do what I do best. Second-year guard/forward Martell Webster had a game-high 29 points (10-19 FG) for the Blazers. Rookie Brandon Roy (12 points) and Fred House (10 points) were the only other Blazers to score in double figures. The highly touted Roy also added eight assists in the loss. The Rockets finished the game shooting 56 percent (35-63 FG), while the Blazers finished at 46 percent (28-61 FG). The Blazers outscored the Rockets bench 38-0. The Rockets take on the Denver Nuggets tomorrow at 2 p.m., while the Blazers battle the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday evening at 5 p.m.

July 6, 2006
The Sacramento Kings held off a late rally to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves, 90-83. Trailing 55-70 at the end of the third quarter, the T-Wolves cut the lead to just four at 76-80 with two minutes remaining, but a Quincy Douby three-pointer pushed the lead to seven and the Kings never looked back.
Kevin Martin led the Kings with 20 points (5-11 FG) and seven rebounds. Louis Amundson chipped in 16 points (6-9 FG) and seven rebounds, while Ronnie Price added 13 points (4-7 FG). Justin Williams came off the bench and had seven points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Rookie guard Randy Foye displayed the quickness and scoring ability the Timberwolves had hoped for by scoring a game-high 23 points (9-17 FG) in 35 minutes of action. Tyrone Ellis pitched in 15 points (4-10 FG) and seven rebounds, while Bracey Wright added 11 points.
After taking a 28-15 lead at the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves were outscored 10-29 by the Kings in the second quarter and trailed 38-44 at halftime.
The Kings ended the game shooting 49 percent (30-61 FG), while the Timberwolves shot just 40 percent (29-73 FG). Sacramento held a 49-37 rebounding advantage, but were outscored 39-17 in points off of turnovers.
Ron Artest was not at the game, but is expected to play tomorrow night against the Hornets (8 p.m. tip-off). Minnesota faces the Phoenix Suns tomorrow at 4 p.m.

Jonathon Givony wrote this about Aldridge
| Quote: | Aldridge surprisingly was brought off the bench and came out quite rusty to start things off. He refused to do any kind of work inside the paint, settling for weak turnaround jumpers repeatedly, facing up and spotting up for the 16 footer, and generally taking the ball up softly in almost everything he did. Somewhere in the 2nd quarter things started falling for him more, and the turnaround jumpers he continued to settle for went down for him at a very nice rate. Defensively he did a great job moving his feet out on the perimeter and hedging the pick and roll, using his quickness and length to challenge shots and showing a lot of potential in this part of his game.
Aldridge’s rebounding was a bit of a concern today. On numerous occasions he just stood around as the ball came off the rim and refused to go after it, possibly expecting PJ Tucker or Brad Buckman to come and do the dirty work for him. Offensively, he wasn’t very active either and really didn’t get too many touches. It didn’t seem to bother him all that much. |

On numerous occasions he just stood around as the ball came off the rim and refused to go after it, possibly expecting PJ Tucker or Brad Buckman to come and do the dirty work for him. Offensively, he wasn’t very active either and really didn’t get too many touches. It didn’t seem to bother him all that much. |

what the heck!?!?!
PJ Tucker plays for Toronto and Buckman plays for Dallas.

Somewhere in the 2nd quarter things started falling for him more, and the turnaround jumpers he continued to settle for went down for him at a very nice rate.

Brandon Roy looks solid in the 1st game, 12pts 8assists!
Martel Webster is becoming a monster, 29pts 5/8 from 3pts!
How come Randy Foye isn't playing at summer league?! |

Jonathan Givony wrote this about Roy
| Quote: | Roy warmed the bench for the first 8 minutes of the game, and then played for the rest of the first half. He was played strictly at the point and did not look out of place doing so, moving the ball around unselfishly, finding the open man, keeping all of his teammates happy and getting to the rim at will. His ball-handling skills looked especially sweet, but he was a little bit too aggressive at times and was called for a couple of questionable charges. One extremely pretty pull-up jumper floating left from 14 feet out showed everyone in the building exactly how large the gap is talent-wise between him and everyone else on the floor.
Roy continued to play the point in the 2nd half and did not look as comfortable as he did in the first. Portland’s offense looked very stagnant and Roy didn’t do a great job initiating things. It would have been nice to see him do some work off the ball as well, but the Trailblazers didn’t want to use Sean Dockery at all. Defensively, Roy really struggled trying to stay in front of the much smaller and quicker John Lucas. Lucas got to wherever he wanted on the floor and there wasn’t much Roy could do to stop him. |
Jonathan Givony wrote this about Webster
| Quote: | Webster came in here billed as the top player in this game considering his lofty draft status and the expectations most Trailblazer fans have of him, and came away with pretty positive results after a very poor start. Webster was repeatedly challenged to put the ball on the floor and go to his left hand by perennial allstar defender Pat Carroll, and either did so and turned it over or just took himself out of the play completely by passing up a one on one opportunity. Having quite a few plays called for him, Webster was brought off multiple screens and couldn’t really find his mid-range or 3-point shot, even airballing one opportunity badly. Webster continued to show his lack of aggressiveness and potentially athleticism by missing a fairly wide-open layup in transition that he most definitely should have dunked. One 3-pointer and then an and-one off an iso with just a few seconds left in the first half redeemed him a little bit.
Webster continued right where he left off at the end of the first off, establishing himself as Portland’s go-to scorer by moving off the ball and freeing himself up for open looks from the perimeter. He drained a number of shots in succession, both from NBA 3-point range (possibly with a foot on the line) and mid-range, looking very smooth and effortless in his release, and being extremely aggressive throughout. Offensively Webster remains mostly a spot-up 3-point threat, but he is damn good at it when his shot is falling the way it was in the last 25 minutes of the game, a 6-7 version of Steve Novak, if you will. He played excellent defense as well, being aggressive in staying in front of his man, but not being able to do much about Steve Novak’s height and incredibly quick shot release with the amazing day he was having. |
Jonathan Givony wrote this about Foye
| Quote: | Foye had a quiet but effective first half of play. He handled the ball under heavy pressure on a number of occasions and had little trouble getting to where he wanted to go. Not many finishes for Foye in the half as he didn’t look to take over the game at all. Foye missed a few finishes in traffic and didn’t take enough jumpers to warrant comment. Foye’s highlight series came early in the half when he hit a right-side jumper from behind the arc and followed it up with a devastating hesitation cross that he finished deftly over the Sacramento help defense.
Foye really came alive in the 4th quarter. After being more of a facilitator to start the game, Foye showed off his “figure-eight” crossover floater on a number of occasions and really started to assert himself off the dribble, looking to get points for himself. Foye showed a very nice handle, capable of controlling with the quality to pull off half-spins away from the defense off of penetration. Foye was able to stop his momentum at full speed going backside and easily elevated, corrected his form, and finished with soft touch and smooth delivery. |
