Down several key players, the Warriors fell 87-69 to the Charlotte Hornets in the first round of the Las Vegas Summer League Tournament on Wednesday night. Marcus Derrickson led the Dubs with 20 points, while J.P. Tokoto filled the stat sheet with seven points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Playing without Jordan Bell, Damian Jones and Jacob Evans, the Warriors were unable to keep up with a Hornets squad that had three different players score at least 17 points. Golden State hung in there and kept the game in reach for the majority of the contest, but never managed to take a lead.
