A stellar first-half defensive effort and another impressive double-double performance from Charles Bassey propelled the Boston Celtics to a 94-81 win over the New York Knicks in an NBA 2K26 Summer League battle at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The Summer League Celtics are now 2-0 after an impressive win over the New York Knicks in Las Vegas on Sunday, July 13. Baylor Scheierman set the tone, with the sophomore forward registering 13 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. However, Scheierman's perimeter struggles limited his overall impact, as he went 1-of-7 from deep.

Tyler Kolek made 41 appearances for the Knicks, leading the way on the Summer League roster. Ariel Hukporti played in 25 games, while first-round pick Pacome Dadiet only saw 18 games and Kevin McCullar Jr. saw the floor just four times throughout the year.
