Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for making an “inappropriate comment” to the officials during Game 3 of their second-round playoff series against Minnesota.
Despite the latest loss, the Golden State Warriors stayed competitive against a very physical Minnesota Timberwolves team. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler had an impressive scoring night. Still, he took a moment to praise Jonathan Kuminga and even made a surprising confession about him.
One offshoot of the hamstring injury suffered by Warriors star Stephen Curry in Game 1 of the team's sereis vs. Minnesota has been the return to the rotation of much-maligned wing Jonathan Kuminga. After being all but cast out of the Warriors' rotation, Kuminga has had a resurgence, scoring 23 points in Game 4 after posting 30 in Game 3.
Jonathan Kuminga scored 30 points for the Warriors Saturday night against the Timberwolves and is 19-of-29 shooting over the last two games.
Kuminga has lit up the Wolves the last two games, providing the Warriors with some much-needed offensive juice while Steph Curry sits out with a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old has been so explosive that Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch compared him to Anthony Edwards.
Those who bet on the Timberwolves and Warriors spread saw Jonathan Kuminga ruin it all in Game 3 of the NBA playoffs.
