After resting during a Monday night Summer League showdown with the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics guard Hugo Gonzalez returned to action on Wednesday evening in a big way. He helped the Green Team hold off the Sacramento Kings 82-76 in Vegas with a game-high 24 points.
The soon-to-be second-year Celtic rested for just 6 minutes all game and added 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal to his impressive statline. Fellow second-year Celtic John Tonje also had a strong showing against the Kings, tallying 18 points (on 60 percent shooting) in 27 minutes. Rookie Milos Uzan — who just signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Celtics — finished with 13 points and 7 rebounds and sealed the narrow win with a tough driving layup with 29 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
As for the Kings, rookie forward (and Massachusetts native) Alex Karaban led the team with 21 points on roughly 47 percent shooting from the field. Sacramento trailed by as many as 16 points and managed a meager 4 points in the first quarter before making things close down the stretch.
The Kings still fell, though, dropping to 1-3 in Summer League play while the Celtics improved to 3-1 under head coach Amile Jefferson. Boston will have to wait to see who it'll face next, as the scoring differential of other teams with the same record will impact its upcoming matchup.
Whether it's in the playoffs or the consolation bracket, the Summer C's will play again in Sin City in the near future.
