The Hawks ended the Las Vegas Summer League with a 92-86 victory over the Rockets on Friday. They finished the tournament with a 3-2 record.

Trent Lockett started and led the Hawks with 17 points. The forward added five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal.

The Hawks did not play last year’s first-round draft picks DeAndre Bembry and Taurean Prince and this year’s second-round pick Tyler Dorsey (right ankle sprain). Isaia Cordinier and Lockett joined the starting lineup with Josh Magette, Ryan Kelly and John Collins.

The Hawks got 12 points from Bryce Cotton and Diamond Stone. Alpha Kaba (nine points, three rebounds, three blocks), Magette (eight points), Kelly (eight points), Collins (seven points, five rebounds) and Cordinier (seven points, six rebounds, three steals) were the Hawks’ other top performers.
