Comments: This was by far Marreese Speights worse game of the summer league but it was still a decent performance. Just goes to show you how well he has played and he finishes the summer league averaging 18.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks a game while shooting 48.6% from the floor. Jamont Gordon had a decent summer league as well, finishing with 10.6 points, 4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1 steal a game and44.7% shooting.

Jiri Hubalek, PHX: 10 points, 4-6 FG, 2 rebounds

Comments: Alando Tucker has had two big games in a row for the Suns. He didn't play much last season, so it will be interesting to see what kind of run he gets this year. D.J. Strawberry could end up being the Suns back up point guard this year if he continues to play well. Robin Lopez has been solid in his 2 games so far.

Game 5 Boxscore: Minnesota Timberwolves 88 Portland Trailblazers 78

Notables:

Kevin Love, MIN: 26 points, 7-20 FG, 12-14 FT, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block

Petteri Koponen, POR: 14 points, 7-14 FG, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 6 turnovers

Comments: Jerryd Bayless has now gone to the free throw line a ridiculous 55 times in 3 games. He is super quick getting to the hole and he's definitely benefiting from it. Kevin Love had another monster game to remain one of the more impressive rookies in the summer league. Disappointed in Corey Brewer as it seems he hasn't taken a step forward with his game this year so far.

Game 6 Boxscore: Milwaukee Bucks 79 Denver Nuggets 67

Notables:

Chris Lofton, DEN: 3 points, 1-2 FG, 1-1 3FG

Matt Freije, MIL: DNP

Comments: Ramon Sessions continue to fill up the boxscore and almost had a triple double. Joe Alexander had a decent performace for the Bucks who seem to be a balanced summer league team.
