The Warriors faced a tough challenge against the Rockets with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green out, and they were not expected to win.
Jonathan Kuminga’s Breakout Game:
Jonathan Kuminga stepped up in a big way, scoring 33 points and grabbing seven rebounds, leading the Warriors to a 99-93 victory. He played aggressively, driving to the basket with determination. In the final seconds of the game, he made an impressive layup over Dillon Brooks and Fred VanVleet, sealing the win for his team. Afterward, Kuminga released a sigh of relief as Curry and Green celebrated with him on the sidelines.

Future Star in the Making?
Could this be Kumingaโs turning point toward becoming Golden Stateโs next star? For years, it seemed like he was destined to take over from Curry. However, doubts arose when he didnโt secure a contract extension last offseason. Steve Kerrโs inconsistent use of him also raised questions about his future with the team.
Fans believe it might be time for Golden State to trust Kuminga more. He showed he’s already one of their best players at driving to the hoop and taking advantage of mismatches. Even one of the top defensive teams couldn’t stop him!
