Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole combined for 91 points as the Warriors pulled away from the Spurs on Friday night.
Kuminga committed three turnovers, but the more troubling sign was his usually impactful defense was spotty. He was at times stellar and bothersome and at other times seemed to be lost in space.
The idea behind starting JK ahead of Looney is to give the Warriors another elite athlete on the wing. It makes them tiny by NBA standards, but able to play at the fast pace they prefer. It’s still a fluid situation and might remain so until there is some resolution to Andrew Wiggins’ indefinite absence.The Warriors regard the final weeks of the season a time for fine tuning, for sharpening focus and getting the little things right. There was little indication of that.
Rather than treating the Spurs like the lottery squad they are and crushing them from the jump, Golden State spent much of the first half bungling possessions and abandoning its offense.Giving away 10 points off five turnovers, the Warriors trailed 26-23 after one quarter. This is the fifth consecutive game – and the eighth time in nine games – in which they were unable to take a lead into the second quarter.
They’ve been trying to break this habit, but it continues to bedevil them. It’s easier to overcome it against teams already planning for the draft, but it’s dangerous and potentially lethal against teams in the playoffs.
