Jonathan Kuminga is starting to find his groove and has solidified his spot in the Warriors’ rotation.
DALLAS — Jonathan Kuminga was benched three times in the first 10 games of the season, leaving the 20-year-old forward to wonder why.
“Best game I’ve ever seen JK play,” coach Steve Kerr said after the loss. “Everything he did contributed to making an impact on winning. His defense on Luka [Doncic] was fantastic, he was disciplined… he challenged shots. He stayed patient offensively.” After the Warriors fell into a 12-point hole due to shoddy shooting at the end of the first, the Warriors’ second unit — Jordan Poole, Donte DiVincenzo, Kuminga, Anthony Lamb and Green — more than survived the non-Stephen Curry minutes which have been a huge problem this season. With Curry catching his breath from the bench, Golden State went on a 16-6 run to pull within four by the time the Warriors superstar was ready to re-enter the game.
The Warriors remained within striking distance of the Mavericks, though Doncic did his best to pull away, scoring 15 of his 41 points in the third quarter.
