Friday’s attendance

9,689. Total through eight sessions: 84,089 (10,511 average).

Star of the day

Shawn Long posted a double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds to help Philadelphia get past Miami as the 76ers wrapped up summer league play with a victory.

Local spotlight

Rosco Allen hasn’t had much of an opportunity to play at the summer league but the Bishop Gorman High School graduate took advantage of extended minutes Friday as he played 23 minutes for Golden State and finished with 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the floor in the Warriors’ loss to Dallas.

Quotable

“It still has to slow down a lot more. I’m still playing a little too fast in transition sometimes and I settle for the pull-up (jump shot). It’s just about making the right reads. It’ll continue to get better. Rome wasn’t built in a day.” — Boston Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown on his week in Las Vegas

On the scene

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jabari Parker was in the Thomas & Mack Center to watch his team Friday against the Houston Rockets. But instead of sitting in the stands, Parker took a seat on the floor behind the basket where he used a camera to shoot the action in what appears to be a new hobby. =
