LAS VEGAS — A stellar first-half defensive effort and another impressive double-double performance from Charles Bassey propelled the Boston Celtics to a 94-81 win over the New York Knicks in an NBA 2K26 Summer League battle at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Tyler Kolek made 41 appearances for the Knicks, leading the way on the Summer League roster. Ariel Hukporti played in 25 games, while first-round pick Pacome Dadiet only saw 18 games and Kevin McCullar Jr. saw the floor just four times throughout the year.

Ron Holland led Pistons with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 steals and 7 turnovers on 6-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's NBA Summer League loss to Timberwolves.

It’s Kevin McCullar Jr.’s first summer league and, in many ways, his first NBA season is still upcoming. Yes, he was drafted in 2024. And yes, he played four games with the Knicks this past season. But McCullar’s rookie campaign was derailed by a knee problem.

LAS VEGAS -- The Celtics led from start to finish Sunday night and pulled away in the second half for a 94-81 win over the Knicks in Summer League action. The victory improves Boston to 2-0 in Las Vegas, putting them in contention for the championship round halfway through their schedule.
