Reeves wins it late, Lendeborg fills the box score in six NBA preseason finals

Antonio Reeves supplied the last shot Minnesota needed, and Yaxel Lendeborg gave Golden State another productive preseason night Saturday. The Timberwolves edged Miami 125-124 on Reeves' floater with 2.3 seconds left, while the Warriors beat Sacramento 111-106 behind Lendeborg's 23 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Those finishes led six games in this roundup of the October 10 NBA preseason slate.

Reeves finishes Minnesota's one-point win

Minnesota trailed 124-123 before Reeves drove into the lane and made a seven-foot floating jumper. Miami's Ryan Conwell missed a three-point attempt on the next possession. Bones Hyland led the Wolves with 23 points, making five of six three-point attempts; Zyon Pullin scored 22 and Terrence Shannon Jr. added 19. Conwell finished with 22 points and nine assists for Miami. The closing possessions gave reserve players the chance to decide the result.

Lendeborg fills Golden State's box score

Lendeborg made 10 of 14 shots as the Warriors held off the Kings. Brandon Williams added 19 points on seven-of-eight shooting, and Gui Santos contributed 15 points and six rebounds. Sacramento rookie Darius Acuff Jr. countered with 25 points and eight assists. NBC Sports Bay Area's Dalton Johnson reported that Lendeborg also initiated offense and found Williams for a three at the end of the third quarter, showing how his impact extended beyond his own scoring.

Toronto's guards set the pace

The Raptors beat the Clippers 114-106 in Vancouver behind RJ Barrett's 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. Immanuel Quickley scored 18 in 19 minutes and made five of six three-point attempts. Toronto scored 33 points in the second quarter and 32 in the third. Barrett's efficient seven-of-11 shooting and Quickley's perimeter accuracy gave Toronto two reliable ways to create points while the teams continued testing preseason combinations.

Atlanta survives Indiana's fourth quarter

Jalen Johnson scored 20 points with seven rebounds as the Hawks edged the Pacers 119-117. Onyeka Okongwu added 18 points, including six makes at the foul line without a miss. Atlanta entered the fourth quarter ahead 96-86; Indiana outscored the Hawks 31-23 in the period but could not erase the whole deficit. Johnson made eight of 12 shots and both of his three-point attempts.

Washington needs overtime

The Wizards beat Detroit 114-108 after the teams finished regulation tied at 98. Washington outscored the Pistons 16-10 in overtime. Will Riley and Tre Johnson each scored 15 points; Johnson made four of six threes. Anthony Davis supplied 10 points and 11 rebounds. The extra period settled a game in which Washington's 40-point first quarter had given it an early advantage that Detroit eventually wiped out.

Phoenix holds off San Antonio

Luke Kennard scored 20 points and Jalen Green added 18 as the Suns beat the Spurs 102-98. Kennard made four threes, and Green went seven of 12 from the field. Phoenix led 85-73 after three quarters before San Antonio won the fourth 25-17. Dylan Harper led the Spurs with 15 points. The late push narrowed the margin, but Phoenix protected enough of its lead to finish with the win.
