Group play for NBA 2K26 Summer League wrapped up on Thursday night with the top four teams in the standings advancing to the semifinals on Saturday. Six teams finished with undefeated 4-0 records but only the Raptors, Thunder, Hornets and Kings claimed a spot in the semifinals based on tiebreak procedures.
The four playoff teams and their seeds for playoff games are determined by records in the first four games and, if necessary, the tiebreakers. The first tiebreak procedure according to Summer League rules is overall point differential. The 26 teams that did not advance to the four-team playoff play a fifth game on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
In the first semifinal matchup, Isaac Jones erupted for 36 points on 13-for-17 shooting to lead Sacramento past Toronto 98-88. Jones scored nine points in the final 2:55 to stave off the Raptors’ late rally that cut the Kings’ game-high lead of 22 down to just one. | Game Report
