Dalton Knecht's 25 points not enough in Lakers' loss to Rockets

Bronny James only makes three of 14 shots, missing all eight three-point attempts, in the Summer League loss in Las Vegas on Friday evening.

The volume of the crowd moved quickly toward 10 as Bronny James gathered to take his first shot of NBA Summer League, collectively sighing after the three-pointer rolled out. But before the disappointment could naturally fade, the offensive rebound swung back to him and he flew toward the basket, scoring on a layup while the nearly full Thomas & Mack Center at UNLV roared.

And paired with the “Lakers” across his chest, he was one of the marquee players despite sharing the court Friday with one — Reed Sheppard — taken 52 spots ahead of him. While James was some good, more bad , the first-round picks on the court, Sheppard and the Lakers’ Dalton Knecht, showed plenty of pop. Sheppard scored 23 in the Rockets' 99-80 win, the Lakers remaining winless this summer after losing three times in the California Classic.
