The difference-maker was first-round pick Yaxel Lendeborg, who posted a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds to capture Championship Game MVP honors.
The Michigan player, who was picked 11th overall in this year’s draft, scored nine of his points in the fourth quarter as Golden State came back from a late Memphis lead.
Deivon Smith kept the run going with the two combining for 42 points on the night while LJ Cryer added 15 more.
Golden State trailed much of the way before a key 28-14 surge in the fourth quarter changed the momentum.
Memphis struggled to score down the stretch, and Golden State hit enough free throws to clinch their fifth win in six Summer League games.
On the other side, No. 3 overall selection Cam Boozer had a good night in loss, finishing with 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists to cap an eye-catching Summer League debut for Memphis.
It’s the second Summer League triumph in Warriors history, the first coming in 2013 with Ian Clark leading the way, per Bleacher Report
The win for Lendeborg caps a solid first look in the NBA and he now heads into training camp with a championship and MVP trophy in hand as he attempts to carve himself a position in Steve Kerr’s rotation.
