In the NBA regular season, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 119-109 on the road, ushering in a good start to the season. Curry accepted an interview with the media after the game.
Reporter: "Before you hit that super long three-pointer at the end of the game, it was Kuminga who grabbed that key offensive rebound and created an opportunity for you. What did he bring to the team in this game?"
Curry: "He brought great things. Energy, impactful performance, I know Doncic still played as he should, but Kuminga accepted the challenge and tried to make every score difficult for Luka. It's great to have a defender like him who can accept the challenge. Great, he will continue to improve in this area. "
"He hit some key three-pointers, he also hit the paint, and like you said, that offensive rebound was crucial. So he's just trying to be in the right place at the right time and continue to make impactful plays, that's what helps you win, and the more he does that, the more he helps himself and the team. "
In this campaign, Kuminga played 33 minutes, made 6 of 11 shots, scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
