Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga notches 20 points in 25 minutes off the bench vs. Nets

Despite their disappointing loss to the Nets, Sunday’s contest marked another impressive performance from Jonathan Kuminga off the bench.

Despite their late collapse on the way to a disappointing loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Sunday’s contest marked another impressive performance from second-year forward Jonathan Kuminga.

After missing seven games due to a right foot sprain he suffered against the Portland Trail Blazers on Dec. 30, Kuminga made his return to the rotation in Friday’s shorthanded win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In his second game back from injury, Kuminga fueled a strong performance from Golden State’s second unit against Brooklyn. The sophomore forward tallied 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field with three boards in 25 minutes.

Via @anthonyVslater on Twitter:

Kuminga was one of three members to score in double-figures off the bench. Behind the former lottery pick, the Warriors’ bench outscored the Nets’ bench 50-21.

Sunday’s contest against the Nets was the second time this season Kuminga has tallied 20 or more points. Kuminga’s season-high came against the Utah Jazz on Dec. 7 with 24 points in 29 minutes.

Kyrie Irving put together a fiery performance in the second half, leading the Nets with 38 points on 12-of-22 shooting from the field with five made triples to go along with nine assists and seven boards. 

Behind Irving, the Nets erased the Warriors’ lead and tied the game late in the fourth quarter. With the Warriors holding onto a one-point lead, Irving set Royce O’Neale up for an open triple to give the Nets a two-point lead with under 30 seconds on the clock. 

Klay Thompson and the Warriors couldn’t answer on the other end, dropping the game to the Nets, 120-116.

After James Wiseman notched a new career-high with 30 points in Golden State’s loss to Brooklyn, NBA Twitter chimed in with reactions.

Without several key players due to injury, including Steph Curry (shoulder), Klay Thompson (rest) and Andrew Wiggins (adductor), it wasn’t pretty for the Golden State Warriors in the second leg of a road back-to-back against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.

Behind a 21 points first-half performance from former Warrior Kevin Durant, the Nets stormed away to a 40-point lead in the first half, outscoring the Warriors 91-51 in the first two quarters. Brooklyn ended the first half shooting a red-hot 71.4% from the field against Golden State.

Although the Warriors responded with some fight in the second half, Brooklyn’s commanding lead helped them cruise to a dominant victory on Wednesday night, 143-113.

During the Warriors’ blowout loss to the Nets, James Wiseman provided a bright spot for the away team in Brooklyn. The former No. 2 overall pick recorded a new career-high in scoring with 30 points on 12-of-14 shooting from the field in 28 minutes off the bench. Wiseman added six rebounds, two rebounds and an assist against the Nets. Wiseman even showed off his range, hitting a jumper from beyond the arc on his way to a new career high.

Despite Wiseman’s performance, it wasn’t enough to solve Golden State’s problems on the road. The Warriors’ loss in Brooklyn finished their six-game road swing with a 1-5 record. Golden State’s road record has now fallen to 3-16 on the season.
