Good Brothers, Warriors Jimmy Butler delivers on Jonathan Cumingga s promise

Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Cumingga contributed to the Warriors even after losing to the Timberwolves in Game 3 on Sunday night.

The Golden State Warriors are struggling in the second round against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Stephen Curry missed, but they are still behind in the series, which is expected. After winning the first game, Curry left the game with a hamstring injury in the first half, the Warriors lost in Game 2 and then nearly eliminated the third game at home, but the Minnesota Timberwolves won 102-97 with a last-minute attack.

Of course, after Curry was absent, the Warriors needed other players to stand up and play in the best condition so that the team could hold on until Curry returned to the court. Jimmy Butler is now the best player in the midfield of Steve Cole and his team, but role players like Jonathan Cumingga play a big role, too.

Before Game 3, Butler promised that he and Kumingga would cooperate well, after all, the 22-year-old had to sit on the bench for most of the playoffs. The two lived up to expectations in this defeat and contributed a total of 63 of the team's 97 points. After the game, Butler reiterated his commitment to Kumingga through 95.7 The Game.

Jimmy Butler III talked about Jonathan Kumingga "It's such a beautiful scenery," Butler said. "But like I told everyone, he and I can improve together. I know how to pull the space on the opening game, and I can tell him, 'Hey, when I'm in the ball, you come over and you do this.' We talk to each other and listen to each other. He's doing a great job tonight. He's doing a lot of great things on the court, and I know he's going to be a big part of our win on Monday."

Kuminga played one of the best games of the season, and he was snuck by Cole's rotation in the first round against the Houston Rockets, and now he's finally starting to get back in shape. He scored 30 points that night and dominated the game with a strong impact on the basket.

If he and Butler can reproduce such an effort in Game 4, maybe the Warriors can equalize the score with two games before Minnesota plays Game 5.
