Watch Warriors Bench Go Berserk After Jonathan Kuminga’s Thunderous Dunk

• Jonathan Kumings scored one of the best dunks in the 2022/23 NBA regular season
• The Golden State Warriors wing dunked on Portland Trail Blazers guard Skylar Mays
• He helped the Warriors crush the Blazers 157-101 in their final regular season game

The Golden State Warriors ended their season on a high by thrashing the Portland Trail Blazers 157-101.

One moment that stood out in the game was Jonathan Kuminga's powerful throwdown at the end of the third quarter, which drew crazy reactions from the Warriors bench led by Stephen Curry.

The Congolese is in his second NBA season and has shown significant improvement, after winning the NBA title with the Warriors in his rookie season.

The 20-year-old's importance to the defending champions has grown immensely since Andrew Wiggins stepped away from the team to deal with a family matter.

Athleticism and his presence on both ends of the court has seen Steve Kerr put more faith in him during the most important moments in the game.

In 67 games in the just-concluded 2022/23 NBA season, the 6-foot-7 wing averaged 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 20.8 minutes per game.

In the last seconds of the third quarter, Kuminga blew past Blazers forward, John Butler Jr. and dribbled toward the rim. He took flight and threw down a powerful dunk on Blazers guard, Skylar Mays, per NBC Sports.
