Sunday marks the penultimate day of regular-season games at the 2021 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. 

Five teams entered play today with an undefeated record. The Sacramento Kings (3-0), New Orleans Pelicans (3-0), Utah Jazz (3-0) and Minnesota Timberwolves (3-0) were all in action on Sunday.

The Boston Celtics (4-0) are the only club in that group that has wrapped up its regular season and is awaiting the start of the playoffs. 

With the summer-league season winding down, here's a look at the results from each of today's games as they go final. 

New Orleans Pelicans 80, Golden State Warriors 79 (F/OT)

The New Orleans Pelicans eked out an 80-79 overtime win against the Golden State Warriors thanks to Trey Murphy III's game-winning layup in the final seconds. 

Jonathan Kuminga appeared to block Naji Marshall's shot, but the officials ruled it goaltending, saying the ball hit the backboard before the Warriors rookie was able to get a hand on it. A review reversed the call, but also allowed Murphy's put-back, giving the Pelicans a victory.

The Georgia alum nearly had a double-double off the bench with 18 points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes. He also had two steals and two blocks. 

One encouraging sign for the Magic was the performance of Cole Anthony. The second-year guard dropped 15 points (6-of-13 shooting) and grabbed seven rebounds. He scored a total of 15 points in Orlando's first three games combined and stepped up to make plays on defense.  

Another promising performer for the Magic was rookie Franz Wagner, who scored 13 points, grabbed three rebounds and recorded three steals.

The Nets' 2021 first-round pick scored 36 points on 11-of-25 shooting (11-of-11 from the free-throw line) in 27 minutes. 

The Nets needed every one of those points to win. His clutch three-pointer with 43.6 seconds remaining gave the team a 98-94 lead. 

Alize Johnson contributed a double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds in Brooklyn's victory. 

Spurs first-round pick Josh Primo fared well in defeat. He finished with a team-high 21 points, but it came on 8-of-22 shooting. The Canadian star did have five rebounds, three assists and three blocks with no turnovers in 23 minutes. 

Sacramento Kings 86, Dallas Mavericks 70

The Kings wrapped up a perfect regular season in Las Vegas with an impressive 86-70 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
