Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Scores 18 in rare start

Kuminga registered 18 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 128-83 loss to the Pelicans.

The Warriors rested most of their starters in the second half of a back-to-back set, so this led several reserves to see more playing time in a game in which the team suffered a blowout loss. Kuminga was one of the players who took advantage of the opportunity, just like he did in his previous start back on Nov. 4, when he also posted 18 points.
