Seth Lundy’s six 3-pointers power Raptors to first win in NBA Summer League

The Toronto Raptors ended their NBA Summer League skid with a decisive shooting display, beating the Houston Rockets 102-89 at the Pavilion in Las Vegas. It was the Raptors’ first win of the 2026 Summer League, and it came in a game that turned on long-range scoring rather than any single possession-by-possession stretch.

Seth Lundy led the Raptors with a game-high 23 points. According to Yahoo Sports’ account of the matchup, Lundy’s most damaging burst came from three-point range, where he went 6-for-9. That mark matters because it suggests Toronto was not only creating open looks, but also converting them at a high enough clip to pull away before Houston could stabilize offensively.

The 102-89 final score indicates a comfortable margin for Toronto, a rare outcome in Summer League settings where lineups often shift and defenses are still settling. In this matchup, the Raptors were able to translate Lundy’s hot hand into a sustained lead, forcing the Rockets to chase rather than dictate the pace late.

For Houston, the loss is another reminder that Summer League results are frequently about development and experimentation as much as winning. Still, a 13-point deficit in a game that featured a standout perimeter performance highlights how difficult it can be to absorb a poor shooting spell once an opponent starts hitting at volume.

Summer League is designed to give teams a close look at players competing for roles and future opportunities. A performance like Lundy’s, especially one that includes efficient volume from beyond the arc, can quickly reshape a coaching staff’s evaluation. It also gives the team a clearer reference point for how it wants to space the floor, even with constantly changing rotations.

What to watch next for Toronto is whether Lundy can bring that outside shot profile on a more consistent basis and whether the Raptors can recreate the shot quality that produced the 6-for-9 night. For Houston, the focus will likely be on how they adjust their perimeter coverage in subsequent games so that opponents are not granted the same combination of open looks and rhythm.
