On the way to a fierce second-half comeback, Jonathan Kuminga added another eye-popping slam to his resume. While the Golden State Warriors were putting together a run in the third quarter, the G League Ignite product brought Chase Center to their feet with an emphatic dunk.
With the Warriors trailing by four points, the second-year forward flew through the lane for a monstrous one-handed jam to cut the Blazers’ advantage to only a bucket with under three minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Steph Curry and the rest of Golden State’s bench went into a full frenzy following the rim-rocking dunk from the sophomore forward.
However, the fireworks weren’t done after Kuminga’s slam on Tuesday night. Shaedon Sharpe and the Blazers had a response brewing. In the fourth quarter, the Kentucky Wildcat product soared through the middle of the lane for a vicious tomahawk slam.

The pair of highlight reel dunks from Kuminga and Sharpe on Tuesday night would give Mac McClung a run for his money at the dunk contest.

Kuminga and the Warriors got the last laugh on the way to securing a comeback win over the Blazers on Tuesday night. Kuminga registered 16 points off the bench on 8-of-10 shooting from the field to go along with three boards and a steal in 25 minutes.
Riding a three-game win streak, Kuminga and the Warriors will be back on the floor on Thursday evening at Chase Center against the Los Angeles Clippers.
