Rockets Run ENDED By Grizzlies Despite Quadir Copeland's BREAKOUT As Bruce Thornton STRUGGLES

Rockets Run ENDED By Grizzlies Despite Quadir Copeland's BREAKOUT As Bruce Thornton STRUGGLES Houston Rockets’ Summer League run ends as Quadir Copeland’s breakout 24-point performance isn’t enough to overcome the Memphis Grizzlies’ suffocating defense. Can Copeland’s dynamic slashing and playmaking force his way onto the Rockets’ full roster? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down Copeland’s aggressive, next-level handle and how the Grizzlies’ length stifled the backcourt duo of Bruce Thornton and Tristan Newton. Key moments include Cedric Coward’s 28-point explosion for Memphis, Cam Boozer’s dominance on the offensive glass, and the Rockets’ struggles to generate offense beyond Copeland. Spotlights include Bruce Thornton’s leadership despite shooting woes and highlights a hilariously unexpected Daishen Nix ejection. With ball movement improvements, defensive lapses, and leadership from rookies, this packed analysis sets the stage for what’s next for Houston’s young core. Can these Summer League standouts earn a meaningful role when the NBA season tips off? #Rockets #NBA #SummerLeague 📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets 📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social 🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen: Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRockets Locked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA For your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.
