Warriors' exciting first round pick, Jordan Poole (out of Michigan) finished with a rather inefficient 15 points as he shot an unimpressive 3-of-15 from beyond the arc (and 6-19 from the field). Meanwhile, Second-year pro Devonte Graham provided the offensive spark for the Hornets with his 21 points and 4 three-pointers.

Dwayne Bacon - third-year pro out of Florida State - shot a respectable 9-20 from the floor and the led the scoring for Charlotte with his game-high total of 25 points. He was the sole reason the Charlotte Hornets could knock off Golden State in the summer league opener.

Walker and Eubanks were the only two players in double-digit scoring for the Spurs. Surprisingly, promising Spurs' rookies Samanic and Keldon Johnson combined for just 6 points.

Due to the aforementioned earthquake, the match came to a close at the end of three quarters of play.
