Playoff-tested McCaw, Warriors advance in NBA Summer League

Patrick McCaw started real playoff games for the Golden State Warriors, so ones in the NBA Summer League should be no problem. McCaw scored 26 points, Jordan Bell had another big defensive effort and the Warriors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 77-69 on Wednesday night in their opening game of the tournament stage. After losing all three games of the preliminary round, the 22nd-seeded Warriors avenged a loss to the Timberwolves in the sudden-death second overtime a night earlier and advanced to a second-round game against No. 6 Boston, which is 3-0 in Las Vegas.
