HOUSTON — A temporary move to the bench didn’t knock Jonathan Kuminga off his game. Neither did a slow first three games to the season he described as “decent.” Nor the stalled contract extension negotiations, the trade rumors, the chatter.
Against the Rockets on Saturday night, to tip off a gauntlet of a road trip, Kuminga reminded everyone why he’s such a coveted prospect, why the Warriors value him so highly, why he’s worthy of the hype.
The Warriors were reeling after blowing a 31-point first-half lead.
