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.

The Warriors proved unable to overcome their slow start and ultimately fell 91-71 to the Dallas Mavericks in Las Vegas on Monday. Kendrick Nunn and Josh Magette led Golden State with 10 points apiece, while Gian Clavell added six points and four rebounds.

Playing without Damian Jones and Jordan Bell, who both missed the game due to injury, the shorthanded Dubs lacked the firepower necessary to beat a feisty Mavericks squad. Dallas scored the first nine points of the contest, and stayed in front for the duration of the game.

The Warriors led for the vast majority of the game, but ultimately came out on the wrong end of an 87-81 Summer League defeat to the Houston Rockets in Las Vegas on Sunday evening. Marcus Derrickson led Golden State with 23 points and seven rebounds, while Omari Johnson added 10 points and five boards.

After Houston opened the game with a three-pointer, Golden State responded with a 13-2 run, and would remain in front until the final frame. The Warriors held a 15-point lead entering the fourth quarter, but the Summer Dubs stumbled down the backstretch, as Houston mounted a late comeback.

Golden State opened their 2018 NBA Summer League run in Las Vegas on Friday with a 77-71 win over the LA Clippers. Kendrick Nunn led the Dubs in scoring with 18 points, while Jordan Bell added six points, 11 rebounds, five assists and three blocks.

After not playing in the team’s final game of the California Classic in Sacramento, Bell and Damian Jones were back in the starting lineup. A few assists from Bell and a big dunk from Jones helped get the momentum going early for the Dubs.

Despite some solid splash action from Golden State, the Clippers took advantage of missed shots in the third quarter to take the lead. However, it wouldn’t be long before the two teams started trading buckets into the fourth, resulting in the Dubs regaining control with a big three from Kendrick Nunn.

As the Clippers looked to bounce back, bringing the game within one point, Josh Magette drilled a three with 10 seconds remaining in the game, giving the Warriors a four-point lead and putting a huge smile on head coach Steve Kerr’s face.
