The Warriors will now have a big game on Monday night (also at home) where they will need to avoid falling into a 3-1 hole.
Kuminga was the seventh pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
He has spent all four seasons of his pro career with the Warriors.
Via Charlie Cummings of DraftKings Network: "Jonathan Kuminga is a man possessed tonight, my jaw is on the floor. Never seen him playing so ferociously on both ends of the floor"
