Coach Khalid Robinson’s Assessment
“Everyone that came in the game executed the game plan pretty well.” — Khalid Robinson, Warriors coach
“It’s an area where you got to continue to grow.” — Khalid Robinson
“We talk about just being locked in at all times defensively, on and off the ball.” — Khalid Robinson
Robinson emphasized that while Lendeborg’s offensive burst was encouraging, his defensive awareness must improve as he transitions to NBA competition.
Outlook
The Warriors, now 2-0 in Las Vegas and 4-1 overall this summer, next face the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday at 4 p.m. PT. The Thunder, still winless, will meet the Denver Nuggets later that day. Both teams will use the upcoming matchups to further evaluate their recent draft selections and refine their summer-league strategies.
