Jonathan Kuminga, the rookie sensation for the Golden State Warriors, has been instrumental in the team's 3-0 preseason record, with an impressive average of 26.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and a 54.5% shooting accuracy from the field. His standout performance came in an OT win against the Kings, where he scored 28 points. As the team gears up for their season opener against Phoenix, key players Stephen Curry and Chris Paul are taking a breather. Draymond Green, recovering from an ankle injury, has been cleared for light workouts.
Celtics lead, 91-83, with 4:01 left in the third. Credit to the Knicks. Seemed like this would be a blowout as long as the Celtics' starters were in, but it isn't.
After 1Q: Celtics 41, Knicks 30. Celtics had 13 points with 6:51 left and scored 28 in the final 5 minutes, 9 seconds. That's pretty efficient.
