Warriors’ Yaxel Lendeborg Calls Out Doubters After Summer League Title
Yaxel Lendeborg scored 21 points and 10 rebounds as Golden State won its second Summer League title.
On Sunday, July 19, the Golden State Warriors captured their second NBA Summer League title, defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 94-90 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg, the 11th overall pick, scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to earn championship MVP honors, fueling a fourth-quarter comeback after trailing by 10 points.
The title game featured a high-intensity showdown between lottery picks Lendeborg and Cameron Boozer. Lendeborg, who won an NCAA title with Michigan this year, added another championship to his resume.
Memphis struggled late, turning the ball over on a critical inbounds play as Boozer missed a potential game-tying shot in the final minute, ending the team's promising 4-2 run.
Golden State joins the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers as the only teams to win multiple Summer League titles since 2013, marking a historic achievement for Lendeborg.
