Klay Thompson’s fourth-quarter eruption in the Warriors’ 120-114 triumph over the Los Angeles Clippers at Chase Center became the highlight of the evening.
The Splash Bro scored ten points in just 90 seconds in the final quarter, achieving a total of 22 points while shooting at 44.4%, in addition to grabbing six rebounds, two assists, and one block in his 34-minute playtime. Draymond Green, who praised Thompson’s performance, acknowledged the impact of rookie Jonathan Kuminga in sparking Thompson’s fourth-quarter outburst.
“It was beautiful to watch,” Green commented. “And it all started with Jonathan Kuminga giving him a handoff in the corner. JK could have shot it, could have driven it, and he went uphill, DHO, and got Klay going. …And that is incredible. That is growth on JK’s part. Honestly, we all know what Klay’s capable of. … But for JK to get him going like that, that was special.”
With about 10 minutes left in the game, Kuminga grabbed a missed shot by Russell Westbrook and initiated a crucial play, passing off to Klay Thompson, resulting in an explosive scoring spree. Thompson’s subsequent dominant plays were attributed to Kuminga’s unselfish assist.
Kuminja’s excellent performance earned him praises from the Warriors’ coaches, fans, and teammates. Steve Kerr commended the rookie’s clean game and expressed his satisfaction with his performance against challenging matchups.
Steph Curry also spoke highly of Kuminga, describing his defense as exceptional and his stat line as “beautiful.” The Clippers may have struggled against the Warriors, but Kuminga’s strong showing garnered well-deserved acclaim.
As the Warriors continue their season without key players, Kuminga’s pivotal role is expected to expand and contribute to the team’s success as it progresses.
