99-93, a second straight victory in Las Vegas for the Hawks, carried by a Tyrese Martin in trigger mode this summer. Well helped by his racket, TM pushed Wolves back in the money time. That’s also the Summer League: bench shiners in the NBA who turn into superstars for a week.
21 points on Sunday, 25 tonight, Tyrese Martin is having a blast in Vegas. At 9/15 in shooting with notably 2 bombs from the parking lot, Ty carried Atlanta against the Minnesota Timberwolves, even having the pleasure of rolling quietly in the fourth quarter. 14 points in the last ten minutes, a maximum of penetrations and a shot not far from the logo, while the match was tight, it was enough to delight the entire Hawks Nation.
What gives Rese-Ty’s performance even more volume is that it follows the 21 puntos scored by the guy three days ago against the Nuggets. An offensive leader role perfectly assumed in Nevada for the one who appeared only 16 times with the Hawks in 2022-23, and hopes to make his hole in Quin Snyder’s rotation.

But Martin was not the only Falcon at ease last night, in fact everyone did the job, especially in the racket. The twin towers Mfiondu Kabengele (2m08) and Mouhamed Gueye (2m11) reigned over the paint with 2 blocks each. If efficiency level we will come back, especially for Mouhamed (11 points at 2/8), when the baskets returned it was nice, and the defensive job was completed wonderfully.
It’s too rare an action in this Summer League, and yet how good he is at mid-distance and in the post! And it offers the and-one in addition!

Off the bench, good contribution from Seth Lundy (14 points at 4/10) on this Monday Thursday evening. Not much more to say but the pun was tempting. And at Wolves, are there things to remember?
Brandon Williams, leader notably spent with the Blazers for more or less success, continues to blacken the stats sheet during each of his summer outings. 24, 17 then 23 points, typically the kind of offensive contribution that could do good for Minneapolis behind Anthony Edwards on the back lines.
Brandon Williams contra los Hawks:
🔹23 PTS
🔹4 AST
🔹3 REB
🔹8-14 TC
🔹3-6 3T

Next to the B, three other beautiful perfs to note. The first two signed Josh Minott and Leonard Miller, 12 and 18 points at 50% to shoot for the two boys. The last ? 13 points and 7 assists for mister DJ… Cardboard – tell me that you play the Summer League without telling me that you play the Summer League -.
