After suffering a disappointing loss to the New York Knicks to open a three-game homestand on Monday, the Golden State Warriors got back on track with a much-needed dominant win at Chase Center on Wednesday night over the Memphis Grizzlies, 137-116.
Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins helped fuel Golden State’s offense on Wednesday against Memphis. The duo combined for 48 points with Kuminga leading the team with 26 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the field with five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes.
Wiggins tallied 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the field with four made 3-pointers, his highest scoring output since January.
Klay Thompson continued his strong run with the second unit, scoring 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the floor with a team-high five made 3-pointers in 25 minutes off the bench.
Following the Warriors’ 137-116 win over the Grizzlies, the NBA community on X chimed in with reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on social media on Wednesday evening.

The Warriors with sharp, assertive Wiggins are so dynamic. The type of performance that, even when it happens once every 15 games, makes you wonder “what if”

Kuminga consistently putting up around 15-20 points, 5 rebounds, and 2-3 assists per game at 21 years of age next to multiple NBA veterans should be getting more attention nationally.

Kuminga can be as good as he wants to be in the future
Plenty of room for growth
When/if he decides to lock in on the defensive end he will become an entirely different player.

Holy crap Kuminga. So fast. So powerful.
