The Golden State Warriors got back in the win column with a much needed victory on Saturday night. Defeating the Phoenix Suns, Golden State got another big performance from Jonathan Kuminga.<\/p>\n

After scoring a career-high 34 points in Friday\u2019s loss to the LA Clippers, Kuminga matched that with another 34-point performance on Saturday against Phoenix. Kuminga turned in both of these performances off the bench, as he was able to give the Warriors some much-needed offensive production.<\/p>\n

Speaking after this game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made a statement on the rising star.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think he\u2019s turning a corner,\u201d Kerr said.<\/p>\n

Explaining the ways Kuminga is reading the game better, Kerr said his combination alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green can become very powerful if he continues playing this way.<\/p>\n
