In the end, the Golden State Warriors fell short at NBA Summer League for the same reason that the regular Warriors do: Too many turnovers.

Golden State took the lead on the Miami Heat with 53 seconds to play on a Yuri Collins layup, but a Josh Christopher three-point play followed by two Warriors turnovers sent the Dubs to their first loss of the summer. The Summer Warriors had won seven straight games across the California Classic and Las Vegas seasons, but the team’s 8-for-34 shooting from three-point range and 15 turnovers ultimately ended their improbable quest for Summer League rings, which are actual jewelry, not plastic trinkets with candy on top as you might assume.
