Warriors owner Lacob is excited for Kumingga to play his best playoff performance in Game 3

According to an article written by Dan Combs, a reporter from sports media NBA analysis network. Kumingga is now completely unblocked. After being ignored in key games for a while, Kumingga returned to the favor of the Golden State Warriors. Kumingga's recall was a last resort, and he returned to the key starting position in absent from a hamstring injury.

Back in the team now, Kumingga has won praise from head coach Cole, and analysts point out that his performance improvement is inevitable and he only needs to get the right playing time. Similarly, Kumingga impressed Warriors boss Joe Racob, but Kumingga himself didn't know. This is because Kumingga has won praise for his ability to stay focused and be ready to stand up for the team during challenging times, and you can’t imagine he was DNP in three consecutive games that were highly anticipated.

Kuminga attributes these to himself "always ready" and waiting for his chances that belong to him, which continues to impress Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob. He just didn't realize it. This was emphasized in the exchange with reporters at the post-match press conference.

reporter asked: "Have you noticed that night, you dunked, Lacob stood up, waving his fists super excitedly, and he did this tonight after you scored a goal?

Kumingga: "Who? ”

Reporter: “Joe Racob. The boss is one of your biggest fans, right?

Kumingga: "I didn't notice this. It's crazy. Whenever I'm playing outside, I don't know if there's such a high mood. It's like I can't even see the crowd. I just see my teammates and our coaches. Sometimes I don't even know which side of the court I'm on because I'm too focused on doing the right thing. You know, when the game stops, it's all over here. But when we play, I feel like I need to focus on the game, and I don't miss anyone sitting next to me, except my teammates, another team and our coach."

{30 points in Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. That's higher than his playoff best 18 points, which is on par with his 18 points against the Grizzlies in 2022. Data shows he effectively shot from three-pointers while he also dominates near the rim, causing real trouble for the Timberwolves. Kuminga’s improvement is good news for the Warriors, no wonder Joe Lacob is excited about his amazing performance in the last two games.

Lacob talked about the Warriors' commitment to Cuminga in February. When asked about the future of the player, he responded strongly on NBC: "Are you kidding? I love that person. We love him." The implication is that he is the one he is attracted to by his boss and will not leave the Warriors without the inability to solve it for the first time.

But for Kumingga now, he doesn't need to pay attention to this, because the team needs everyone to stand up. And he is also determined to turn around the Warriors' playoff series, adding: "With the players we have now, I think we can do something special here. Let the team continue to be in the playoffs." Do you think the Warriors can break through the Wolves' defense and advance to the Western Conference Finals?
