Warriors Sweep Thunder in Las Vegas Summer League
Dominant Performance in Las Vegas
Golden State rode a balanced attack to a 104‑79 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. The Warriors out‑scored their opponents in every quarter, building an early lead that they never relinquished. This win follows Thursday’s first victory in Las Vegas, giving the team a 2‑0 mark to start the summer league.
Yaxel Lendeborg Shines Again
Yaxel Lendeborg collected 14 points, four assists, three steals and two rebounds in the victory. The former Michigan teammate of Aday Mara (and a prior matchup opponent in the Mavericks game) produced a solid all‑around performance. His effort was part of a trio of Warriors hitting double figures.
Graham Ike Sparks the Starting Lineup
Graham Ike posted 11 points and eight rebounds while adding two assists and zero turnovers. The big man anchored the frontcourt with a clean offensive showing. His numbers helped the Warriors maintain control throughout the game.
Benched Contributions Could Fuel Future Games
The Warriors bench delivered four double‑digit scorers, highlighted by Nick Boyd’s 14 points, two rebounds and one steal. Lachlan Olbrich matched Boyd’s scoring with 14 points, four rebounds, one assist and three steals off the bench. Depth proved crucial in maintaining the large margin of victory. The bench’s consistency bodes well for upcoming contests.
Looking Ahead: Memphis Grizzlies
Golden State will get a Monday off before facing recent No. 3 overall pick Cameron Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. The summer league schedule keeps the Warriors in prime position for further development. Both games are slated for the same Las Vegas venue where the team has already secured two wins. The upcoming matchup will test whether the early momentum continues.
