The Golden State Warriors captured the 2026 NBA Summer League championship on Sunday, defeating Cameron Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies 94-90 in Las Vegas. Yaxel Lendeborg powered the comeback with 21 points and 10 rebounds, and as a result he earned Championship Game MVP honors. Because the Warriors trailed by 10 points entering the fourth quarter, their late surge stood out even more. Devion Smith also came up big off the bench with 21 points, while the Warriors outrebounded Memphis and dominated the paint throughout the contest. Boozer fought hard for the Grizzlies, finishing with 19 points and 8 rebounds, but ultimately could not prevent Golden State from claiming its second Summer League championship in franchise history.
Nets Close Out Vegas With a Winning Record

Meanwhile, John Ukomadu added a team-high 23 points and 9 rebounds, including a highlight-reel reverse alley-oop finish that had the Vegas crowd on its feet. Consequently, seven different Nets players reached double figures in scoring, and Brooklyn shot better than 51 percent from the field for the game. As a result, the Nets wrapped up their Vegas trip with a winning record before heading into the offseason.
