Strong Start The Warriors demonstrated intense focus from the outset with a strong defensive performance and effective shooting, scoring 44 points—the highest for them in the first quarter this season—with contributions from all players. Down Goes Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga suffered a fall during the game, resulting in right ankle soreness, leading him to be ruled out for the remainder of the match. This raised concerns as he had previously missed significant time with an ankle injury. 3-Point Party The Warriors excelled in shooting beyond the arc, with several players stepping up in the absence of Kuminga. Podziemski achieved a career-high for three-pointers made, contributing greatly to the team's scoring efforts.
