The Houston Rockets improved to 4-0 in the NBA Summer League, after a 109-102 victory against the Brooklyn Nets at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Chinese center Zhou Qi has been getting extended playing time in the off-season competition, which the team could not provide him last year, and poured in 17 points in the latest win for his squad.

Zhou came into the contest averaging 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per outing. The former Xinjiang Flying Tiger then improved on those numbers in this game.
In addition to scoring 17 points, the 22-year-old big man also grabbed seven rebounds, and blocked three shots – much of that while going head to head against Jarrett Allen, who was the 22nd overall pick in last month's NBA Draft.
