Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies resultado final 90-101 — Jul 18, 2026 | Resultado, box score y estadísticas

Memphis and Houston arrive at this Summer League matchup with identical 3-1 records and very similar talent trajectories. The Grizzlies have been explosive, averaging 97 ppg and holding opponents to 85.3 over their last two wins—particularly the demolition of Atlanta (96-64). However, they stumbled against Dallas (88-96) in their last outing, exposing defensive gaps that Houston's balanced attack can exploit. Houston is led by the versatile B. Thornton (21.2 ppg) and the dominant Sengun Alperen (20.6 ppg, 10.6 rpg), a pairing that should trouble Memphis's front court, especially if Boozer cannot replicate his 18.8 ppg output. The Rockets' recent form is equally strong: wins over the 76ers (90-64) and Nets (100-83) show they can impose their will on both offense and defense. Head-to-head history slightly favors Houston, who won 3 of the last 4 meetings (most recently 132-101 in April), though Memphis has shown they can compete on any given night. The deciding factor is interior dominance: Sengun Alperen's 10.6 rebounds and complementary scoring from Thompson Amen (19.6 ppg) give Houston the edge on the glass and in the paint, where Memphis's J. Small (6.0 apg) and Prosper Olivier-Maxence (16.4 ppg) cannot fully compensate. This should be a low-to-mid-90s affair; both teams can score, but Houston's depth and Sengun's dual-threat production tip the scales in the Rockets' favor in a close, competitive Summer League battle.
