The Salt Lake Summer League and California Classic wrapped up play on Tuesday night.

Dalton Knecht and Darius Bazley led the Lakers on a 15-5 run to come from behind and take down the Spurs to close out the California Classic.
Knecht posted 25 points, while Bazley led all scorers with 27 points, including the game-winning put-back dunk.
Bazley has been a revelation so far this summer for the Lakers.
David Jones-Garcia led the Spurs in scoring. He had a 25-point performance in the victory.
Spurs first-round pick Carter Bryant only had nine points, but he impressed with his defense.
Miami Heat 93, Golden State Warriors 79
Pelle Larsson’s 15-point, five-rebound performance helped the Miami Heat take down the Golden State Warriors.
Four other Heat players found their way into double figures. Golden State was led by Jackson Rowe’s 14 points.
Utah Jazz 86, Oklahoma City Thunder 82
Walter Clayton Jr. starred in Utah’s third win at the Salt Lake Summer League.
The national champion at Florida led the Jazz with 20 points to take down Nikola Topic and the Thunder.
Kyle Filipowski produced an 18-point, 16-rebound double-double to complement Clayton’s scoring outburst. Ajay Mitchell led the Thunder with 19 points.
Philadelphia 91, Memphis 90
The Sixers took down the Grizzlies without No. 3 overall pick VJ Edgecombe, who missed his second straight game with a thumb injury.
Judah Mintz stole the spotlight for the Sixers with a 26-point outburst.
Justin Edwards, a regular member of the Sixers’ rotation last season, contributed 15 points out of the starting lineup.
Tyler Burton went off from the Memphis bench with 23 points to lead the Grizzlies in defeat.
