LAS VEGAS -- A new champion will be crowned Sunday as the Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Hornets prepare to square off in the NBA Summer League final after a week filled with breakout performances and tight games.
Both teams entered the playoffs undefeated at 4-0, advancing through tiebreakers rooted in point differential to secure their place among the final four. Sacramento’s well-balanced offense, highlighted by the standout play of rookie Nique Clifford (averaging 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists per game), powered them past the competition in Las Vegas.
The Kings led all Summer League squads in three-point shooting, connecting on 38.
