A look at some of the highlights from the five games on the schedule Tuesday at the Orlando Summer League and Utah Jazz Summer League:A NIGHT OFFThe 76ers No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons and Celtics No. 3 overall pick Jaylen Brown both had the day off. Simmons left Mondays game with cramps in both calves, but the team had already planned to manage his minutes at this stage of Summer League. Brown hyperextended his right knee Monday, but is expected to be available Thursday.EXPERIMENTINGThe league experimented with a fourth official on the floor during the second game in Salt Lake City. The new-look crew had one official on the baseline with the other three spread out around the perimeter. Three were from the NBA and one from the D-League.VERSATILITYJazz forward Trey Lyles continued to show his versatile inside-out game after notching a double-double Monday. He took bigger players off the dribble and backed down smaller ones in the post -- hitting a baseline fade-away on one possession and coming back with a hook in the paint. He finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds and two assists as the Celtics beat the Jazz 89-82. Lyles highlight of the night came in the fourth quarter when he crossed over Malcolm Miller on the perimeter and threw down a two-handed power dunk. He followed that possession with a pull-up 3.THREE-HEADED MONSTERThe Spurs defeated the 76ers 95-91 with 81 combined points from Johnathon Simmons, Kyle Anderson and Bryn Forbes. Simmons finished with 35 points, seven rebounds, five assists and nine turnovers while shooting 13 for 18 from the field. Both Anderson and Forbes totaled 23 as the rest of the team combined for 14 points.HEATING UPHeat forward Josh Richardson had his best game of summer league with 22 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. The 6-foot-6, 200-pounder was 6 for 9 from the field and 3 for 4 from behind the arc.LIL BIG DOGPacers forward Glenn Robinson III scored 20 points on 8 for 13 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds. The third-year player out of Michigan is the son of 1994s No. 1 overall pick Glenn Robinson.SCARY SIGHTThe Celtics No. 16 overall pick Guerschon Yabusele went up for an offensive rebound late in the fourth quarter and wound up tip-dunking it over Jazz opponents and teammates. The 6-foot-7, 260-pounder from France flexed and pointed to his bicep while running back on defense. A man that size leaping over several other players was a sight to see.YOUNG CLIPPERSThe Clippers first-round draft pick Brice Johnson scored a team-high 23 points on 10 for 16 shooting and added seven rebounds in a 92-84 loss to the Knicks. The Clippers fell to 0-3 despite the effort from the North Carolina product. Teammate Diamond Stone, the No. 40 overall pick, added 20 points and seven rebounds.NEW YORK STATE OF MINDFormer Stanford standout Chasson Randle may have had the best all-around line in any of Tuesdays games. He scored 24 points, including six 3-pointers, grabbed five rebounds, had five assists and added six steals as a reserve for New York.SLOWING DOWNCeltics wing James Young is playing in his third consecutive Summer League after being drafted No. 17 out of Kentucky in the 2014 draft. He scored 17 points and had five rebounds against the Jazz.I can see everything now, Young said. Stuff I didnt see before, I see now. Just from sitting on the bench, all the stuff I needed to learn.The games a lot slower and Im starting to use that to my advantage.WEDNESDAYS MATCHUPSThe Utah Summer League takes a day off before returning on Thursday.

The Blue Jays third baseman, who was born 120 miles away in Langley, British Columbia, had three hits to help Toronto earn a comeback 3-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. The game was played before 32,300 fans, the vocal majority of whom were Canadians venturing down the freeway from B.C. "Besides Canada Day and Opening Day, this was the best atmosphere of the year," said Mark DeRosa, who had a two-run pinch-hit single in the eighth to provide the winning margin. "No offence to the Rogers Center, but this place was jumping tonight." Lawrie soaked it in. "The last road crowd like that was here last year," Lawrie said. "Obviously, its a positive when the whole crowd is cheering for your team. Its usually the other team. They picked us up tonight. "It was just a good energy. You could feel the energy in the building, everyone cheering for the Blue Jays. It was fun to be part of." R.A. Dickey (9-11) went 7 2-3 innings, allowing one run on eight hits. The knuckleballer struck out five and walked two. He won for the first time since July 1. "I had a good knuckle ball out my hand tonight," Dickey said. "But it was certainly about Brett Lawrie tonight. That was fun to watch. His triple, his double, his double play. He was our spark plug tonight. It was good to do that in front of a Canadian crowd. He enjoyed that." Casey Janssen worked the ninth for his 20th save in 22 opportunities. Hisashi Iwakuma (10-5), who pitched 7 1-3 innings, took the loss. He allowed two runs on four hits, striking out two and walked a season-high three. Over his past five starts, he is 3-0 with a 1.59 ERA. Justin Smoak hit his 11th home run in the seventh to give the Mariners a 1-0 lead at the time. Since July 1, Smoak is batting .327 with 16 runs, eight doubles, five homers and 13 RBI. "He definitely had it dancing tonight," Smoak said of the knuckler. "When we did have runners on, we didnt capitalize on it. "It (home run pitch) was up. I was swinging. Just happened to catch it at the right time." After Smoaks home run, the Jays responded with their three-run, eighth-inning rally. Lawrie opened with a triple into the right-centre gap. With one out, Jose Reyes lined a RBI singlle to centre, ending Iwakumas outing.dddddddddddd. Yoervis Medina then complicated the situation for the Mariners, giving up a single to Jose Bautista. Both runners advanced on Medinas wild pitch. Edward Encarnacion walked to load the bases. Oliver Perez entered as did DeRosa, who lined his game-winning single to left on an 0-2 pitch. DeRosa is 5-of-14 as a pinch hitter this season with six RBI. "I always look at the matchup," DeRosa said. "He prides himself on attacking. Theres a lot of herky-jerky motion. I was just trying to take the lower half out. I knew hed challenge me. Thats the type of guy he is." The Mariners put together a rally in the third but Lawrie had a hand in ending it. Humberto Quintero opened with a ground-rule double that bounced over the left-field wall. With one out, Kyle Seager singled to right, as Quintero held at third. Kendrys Morales then hit a two-hopper to third baseman Lowrie, who dived to his left to stop it. From his knees, he started a 5-4-3 double play to end the threat. "I thought of looking back to third to see where he was but I wanted to get rid of it because knew he (Morales) was a slow runner," Lawrie said. "Ive done that (thrown from knees) a couple times. Its not too bad. You get a good feel for it after a while." It was the first win for the Blue Jays at Safeco since Aug. 17, 2011. The Mariners have had 51 of their 112 games decided by two runs over fewer. NOTES: Dustin Ackley started at his old position, second base. He had been the teams regular at that spot but a batting slump and Nick Franklins emergence pushed him to the outfield. "They always told me to be ready, just in case. I see why now," Ackley said. Acting manager Robby Thompson said, "I dont hesitate for a minute to put him out there." . Seattle manager Eric Wedge, who suffered a mild stroke July 22 and has missed 13 games, will miss more. There was hope that he could rejoin the team by this homestand but as Thompson said, "hes doing well. It is a slow process...when that time is, were not really sure." . LHP J.A. Happ was added to the Blue Jays roster before the game, replacing RHP Steve Delabar (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day DL. RHP David Schwimer was designated for assignment to make room for Happ on the 40-man. ' ' '
