Bruce Thornton scored 18 points on 5-of-9 shooting (3-of-7 from three) with four assists and two steals in 26 minutes Tuesday as the Houston Rockets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 90-64, leading wire to wire and holding Philadelphia to 30.8 percent shooting. It was a third consecutive strong outing for the No. 31 pick, who opened Vegas with 27- and 17-point games. Houston wraps its Summer League schedule against Brooklyn on Thursday. In deeper dynasty formats Thornton belongs on watch lists — he keeps outproducing his draft slot.
