The Golden State Warriors started the season with a bang, but they haven't been able to keep that same momentum going. Steph Curry has struggled with his shot, and he's dealing with a nagging knee injury that has limited his explosiveness and forced him to miss several games.
That's why they've needed Jonathan Kuminga to step up in a big way. He's done so recently, logging two consecutive 34-point games before an 18-point performance vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaking about his form, coach Steve Kerr praised Kuminga for being more efficient and playing a better brand of basketball:
"This is the JK we want," Kerr told reporters after the Pacers game. "Spent a lot of time in the paint, took care of the ball. Had a couple really nice passes. Found Buddy [Hield] for 3 on a beautiful play and really attacked. So this is a great example of how JK needs to play. I'm really proud of him for coming out, playing that way. ... He's getting better, and it's fun to watch his development."
