The Houston Rockets achieved their first summer league victory of 2025, edging out the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-101, snapping Minnesota's winning streak. Two-way guard Kevon Harris led the charge with a standout performance, scoring 18 points alongside 6 assists and 4 steals, while the team rallied from a 17-point deficit. Rookie Kennedy Chandler also shone, contributing 20 points. Houston's defense was pivotal, forcing Minnesota into 22 turnovers, which proved crucial in their comeback.

This win marks a turning point for the Rockets, who had struggled earlier in the summer league, while Minnesota's loss highlighted gaps in their defense despite strong individual performances from Tristen Newton and Jesse Edwards. The Rockets' summer squad will likely see some players, including Harris and Sheppard, advance to the upcoming NBA season as they prepare for training camps.
