While the Dubs trailed by as many as 23 points, the summer squad opened the final frame with a 9-0 run to bring the game within single digits, but it was not enough to overcome the Celtics in Las Vegas.

MOODY MAKING MOVES
Moses Moody sank two splashes on his way to 21 points, three rebounds, four assists and three steals. The Dubs guard didn’t avoid contact while making his way to the rim, closing out the first quarter with four made free throws in the final 44.6 seconds of the period and finishing the night 7-for-8 from the charity stripe.

The Warriors’ No. 55 selection in the 2022 NBA Draft, Gui Santos posted 12 points and eight rebounds, shooting an efficient 5-for-9 from the field (55.6 percent) and 2-for-3 from 3-point range (66.7 percent).
