Cavaliers win 82-77
Malakai Branham (23 pts) led Cleveland to a close victory over New Orleans, outdueling Markquis Nowell (20 pts, 2 stl), who battled to keep the Pelicans alive through most of the contest.
Both teams shot under 40% in this defensive struggle, with the Cavs earning an advantage at the line and from beyond the arc (9 made 3-pointers to 6).
JULY 15 / 7:04 p.m. ET
Agee leading the Cavs
Rashaun Agee (10 pts, 7 reb) is a team-high +19 with the Cavaliers up 68-57 with 4:12 to go in the game.
The 6-foot-7 Chicago native played at five colleges, ending at Texas A&M, where he was named Third Team All-SEC after putting up 14.6 ppg, 8.7 reb and 2.6 ast.
He’s solidly-built and aggressive on the boards.
JULY 15 / 6:51 p.m. ET
Okorie covers ground
A big shot for Ebuka Okorie (8 pts, 2 ast), the 6-foot guard out of Stanford.
He was 2-for-12 from 3-point range entering today’s game, but shot 35.9% from deep in college last season. To be successful as a small guard, it’s important to be able to make the defender play up tight.

Richardson rocking
Jase Richardson (10 pts on 4-for-5 shooting, 2 3PM) has it flowing to open Magic-76ers in a battle of two of his father’s former teams.
Richardson posted a career-high of 20 points in his rookie season, scoring it on Jan. 6 against the Washington Wizards. He’s a quick guard with vertical pop at 6-foot-1.
JULY 15 / 3:59 p.m. ET
Powering to the rim
Jalen Slawson (8 pts, 2 blk) and No. 58 pick Trey Kaufman-Renn (8 pts, 1 reb) are leading the scoring as the Timberwolves take a 35-27 lead over the Pacers after the first.
We had 11 lead changes and two ties in the first quarter in this competitive battle.
“This is really good to see the pace we’ve been having,” said Prime’s Teresa Weatherspoon. “This is good. Keep it going!”
Braden Smith (5 pts, 2 ast) likes this shot fading to the baseline — it’s tough, but is a good weapon for a 6-foot guard as he adjusts to pro size and length.
