After a slow start that resulted in an 11-point deficit for the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, Steve Kerr turned to Jonathan Kuminga off the bench for a spark against the Portland Trail Blazers. The third-year wing delivered that spark and more at Chase Center.
Behind Kuminga and a late barrage of points from Steph Curry, the Warriors swung momentum back their way.
With the Warriors attempting to close out the Blazers and complete the comeback, Draymond Green looked to Kuminga for one final haymaker. With just over a minute left on the clock and the Warriors clinging to a two-point lead, Green found Kuminga for an explosive lob dunk at the rim.
Kuminga’s dunk sent the crowd at the Chase Center into a frenzy while extending Golden State’s tight lead over Portland.

Although he only played in the second half, Kuminga finished with 13 points of the bench on 6-of-6 shooting from the field in Golden State’s 110-106 comeback win.
