After Curry fell, Kuminga stepped up and set a new NBA career playoff high, and the coach said after the game

The Warriors lost to the Timberwolves 97-102 in the second round of the NBA playoffs G3 on the 11th, Beijing time, and fell behind 1-2 in the series, but it is worth noting that Kuminga, who got more playing time after the fall of his brother Curry, came off the bench on the same day to score 30 points, setting a new career playoff high.

Kuminga

Curry suffered a Grade 1 thigh strain in G1 and will be sidelined for at least a week. Kuminga, who had always been frozen, continued to eat a lot of playing time that day, and also played a brilliant stat, starting the bench for 35 minutes, scoring 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting and 3-of-4 three-point shooting, and he also became the youngest player in team history to score 30 points off the bench in the playoffs.

"Master Major" Butler, who scored 33 points in this game, also praised Kuminga after the game: "It's really great to see him play so well, as I told everyone, I can shine and grow on the court with him." He's had a lot of great performances and I know he's going to be one of the key players in our next game. ”

After the Warriors welcomed Butler, Kuminga was gradually abandoned, and the outside world questioned that he was not a good match with the Warriors' lineup, and may not even be in the future blueprint. But Kuminga proved himself with a good performance that day, and Warriors head coach Kelr also said after the game: "He played one of the best battles of his career, and you can see how important he is in this series, especially without Curry, and his performance in the past few weeks has impressed me, and it paid off tonight." ”
