I wanted to look at Jonathan Kuminga’s run at the beginning of the second quarter. I saw the bummer ending, but I didn’t see this part of the game before, so you get to have my honest live reactions.

Kuminga had a good little run in this game. He definitely impacted the box score and his force got a few nice layups and his defense was pretty nice. He definitely fought hard on the boards against bigger man. He played off Steph Curry pretty well in the second quarter (in the fourth, yes there was at least one bad missed connection play, but hey it’s his second game). So I think if he keeps on doing this, he might keep getting them.
