Former Rockets player leads the Hawks to beat the Rockets in overtime in summer league
4:19pm, 15 July 2025Basketball
In the previous NBA Las Vegas Summer League game, the Atlanta Hawks narrowly defeated the Houston Rockets 111-108 after a hard fight in overtime. After this game, the Hawks won three consecutive victories in the summer league, with a current record of 3 wins and 0 losses, while the Rockets suffered three consecutive losses after the start of the summer league, with a current record of 0 wins and 3 losses.
In this game, Australian forward pitcher Jack McVeigh, who played for the Rockets last season, defeated the crowd and became the key figure in the Hawks' victory. McVeigh played 26 minutes and 42 seconds in the game, made 8 of 10 shots, 4 of 6 from outside the three-point line, 1 of 1 free throw, scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, and had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with the highest plus and minus value of +19 in the game. McVeigh was unstoppable on the offensive end. He showed his super scoring ability, and his stability in outside shooting was even more impressive. It is indeed not easy to be able to get so many points with few shots. In addition, McVeigh also showed some characteristics in passing and supporting. In fact, McVeigh's performance on the defensive end is also relatively reliable. It seems that his performance in all aspects is quite outstanding. The plus or negative value of +19 can even show how outstanding his positive impact on the team on the court.
McVie made his debut in this summer league this year in the team's previous game against the Miami Heat. McVeigh made 3 of 8 shots and 1 of 4 three-pointers outside the three-point line during the 15 minutes and 48 seconds of playing time, scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and there was 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -13. McVeigh's performance in the previous game was very average. He did not perform much on the offensive end, nor did he get much ball or mobile phone opportunities. He even exposed his weaknesses on the defensive end, and his effect on the court seemed a bit unsatisfactory. However, in this game, facing his old club, McVeigh suddenly completed a big explosion and became the key to the team's victory over the opponent.
Mcway is an important rotation player of the Australian men's basketball team and has also performed well in international competitions. He joined the Rockets last summer on a two-way contract and became an NBA player. In the NBA regular season last season, McVeigh played 9 games in 82 games, averaging 4.8 minutes per game, averaging 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 0.2 blocks, 0.2 turnovers and 0.3 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 29.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%. Due to his identity as a two-way contract player, McVeigh has no way to appear in the playoff market. In the NBA Development League last season, McVeigh played 37 times for the Rockets' subordinate team Rio Grand Canyon Vipers, with averaging 30.4 minutes per game, averaging 15.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 42.6%, three-point shooting percentage was 35.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 88.2%.
Mcway performed sloppyly last season, and he did not have any particularly competitive performance in the NBA Development League. The Rockets also chose to give up on him. It seems that McVeigh still hopes to stay in the NBA field to work hard, which is also an important factor in his choice to represent the Hawks in the summer league. It seems that McVeigh is also a player with great strength. He also used his performance in this game to prove that the Rockets' slashing him may not be the right choice. Can McVeigh continue to work hard and get a contract from the Hawks in the following summer league?
