Jonthan Kuminga defends Steph Curry after costly turnover
Steph Curry lost control of the basketball with seconds remaining on the clock. That turnover cemented a loss for the Golden State Warriors in their game against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday (Jan. 25.) Had Curry managed to create space and get a shot off, he could have helped his team secure their second straight win.
When speaking to the media after the game, Jonathan Kuminga defended Curry’s mistake. The surging third-year forward accepted that mistakes can happen. He chose to remind everybody that Curry is one of the greatest players in history, so you trust the ball in his hands during late-game situations.
“Things happen,” Kuminga said. “We’re human. We make mistakes. That’s one of the greatest to ever touch a basketball. Everybody makes mistakes. It’s just something maybe we can work on to prevent it from happening in the next game. But, every body makes mistakes.”
Outside of that costly mistake, Curry enjoyed a strong game for the Warriors. He ended the contest with 33 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal, shooting 50% from the field and 42.9% from 3-point range.
