Neemias Queta received the player of the game honors in the Boston Celtics' 2nd Summer League game -- a dominant 88-74 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Portuguese bigman was the game's leading scorer with 22 points, helping the Celtics jump out to an early lead by scoring 7 of the Celtics' first 10 points. Queta also contributed heavily on the boards and the defensive end with 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Sharpshooter Drew Peterson also contributed to the scoring with all of his buckets coming from behind the 3 point arc. Peterson made 4 threes, shooting 50% from deep.

Rookie Baylor Scheierman had a rough shooting night, going 1-7 from the field, but found other ways to contribute, assisting on 3 baskets and diving into the stands for a loose ball.

The Summer Celtics' next game is Wednesday at 5:30 PM Eastern against the Charlotte Hornets. Full box score below.
