The Rockets and Kings were victorious in the semifinals and will do battle in the championship game on Monday.
The 2014 Las Vegas Summer League championship game is now set after the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings won their semifinal tilts on Sunday. Let's take a look at the two games.
Houston Rockets 83, Charlotte Hornets 79
Isaiah Canaan had 24 points to lead the Rockets to a tight victory over the Hornets to reach the finals. Donatas Motiejunas notched a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds.
Houston won despite shooting just 31.2 percent overall and 7-of-28 from long range. The game was close throughout, and Charlotte led by one point with just over a minute to play. Motiejunas put the Rockets ahead with 43.9 seconds left, and Hornets rookie Noah Vonleh turned it over on the other end. After Nick Johnson split a pair of free throws, Jerome Dyson missed a potential go-ahead three and Johnson iced the game at the line.
P.J. Hairston had 27 points in the loss, although he shot just 9-of-24 overall and 3-of-10 from deep. Josh Davis had 18 points and 14 rebounds, while Vonleh had nine points and 16 rebounds. The rookie struggled with his shot, going just 2-of-12 from the field.
Sacramento Kings 74, Washington Wizards 62
The Kings jumped out to a huge first-half lead and withstood the Wizards' second-half charge to advance. MarShon Brooks had 14 points off the bench to lead Sacramento.
The Kings led by seven points after the first quarter, and that lead ballooned to 26 in the second quarter. The Wizards trimmed the massive deficit to seven at the outset of the fourth quarter, but they were never able to get any closer.
Glen Rice Jr. and Otto Porter were the only two Wizards to score in double figures. Rice led Washington with 24 points and nine rebounds, while Porter had 16 points. The two combined to shoot just 15-of-41 as the Wizards shot 35.2 percent overall and a woeful 3-of-29 from three.
