Warriors’ undefeated run in Summer League comes to end with loss vs. Heat

After ripping off seven straight wins from the California Classic to Las Vegas, the Golden State Warriors’ undefeated run came to an end on Sunday against the Miami Heat.

With a spot in the Summer League championship game on the line, the Heat were able to put the Warriors away in a back-and-forth contest that featured a thrilling fourth quarter.

Kevin Knox II took over for the Warriors, scoring a game-high 31 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the field with five made three-pointers in 30 minutes before fouling out. Knox added 11 rebounds and two assists to complete an impressive double-double performance.

Yuri Collins, Santiago Vescovi, Quinten Post and Pat Spencer all added 10 or more points, but it wasn’t enough as the Heat rallied to a 102-99 win.

Daeqwon Plowden uncharacteristically struggled for the first time in the Summer League with the Warriors, scoring only five points on 0-for-7 shooting from the field. Plowden had a chance to cut Miami’s advantage to only one with just seconds remaining after he was fouled while shooting a 3-pointer. However, Plowden missed a crucial free throw.

In his second Summer League game, rookie big man Quinten Post recorded his second-straight game with 10 points. The No. 52 overall pick from the 2024 NBA draft went 3-of-4 from the field with two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes.
