Anthony Morrow set an NBA summer league scoring record with 47 points in the Warriors' 104-84 rout of the New Orleans Hornets on Thursday in Las Vegas.
Anthony Randolph, who tied what was then the scoring record with 42 points on Tuesday, sat out the summer league finale with a sprained right wrist.

Morrow set the record on a baseline jumper with just over two minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Morrow connected on 18 of his 26 shot attempts, including 7-for-9 from 3-point range and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.
Morrow scored 20 of his points in the first quarter. He made eight of his 10 shots in that span, including 2-for-2 from 3-point range as the Warriors took a 10-point lead.
Lawrence Hill joined Morrow in double figures for the Warriors, as the former Stanford star knocked down 13 points. New Orleans was led by Marcus Thornton's 21 points.
