Heading into this weekend, Bennedict Mathurin and Dalen Terry were undefeated in Las Vegas, having gone 6-0 in Sin City as college players.
Though that perfect record came to an end for both rookies on Sunday, Mathurin and Terry continued to play well in their second NBA Summer League games.
Mathurin had 15 points, three rebounds and one assists in Indiana’s 103-96 loss to Sacramento. Terry had 13 points, three assists, one rebound and one block in Chicago’s 101-69 loss to New York.
Mathurin played in the early game where he faced the Kings’ Keegan Murray. Though the two high-end lottery picks didn’t go head-to-head much, Mathurin more than held his own on the court. At times looked like the best player in the gym. Mathurin finished the game 6-16 from the field including 1-4 from 3-point range.

Mathurin’s lob pass to Isaiah Jackson was particularly pleasing on the eyes.
