TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 What was kind of, I guess, going into that final timeout, what was the play design? Was it as simple as give you the ball up top and run a screen or what do you remember about it?
00:16 JONATHAN KUMINGA: It was actually for me to just get the ball and run a pick-and-roll with Buddy. So if they switch, I got Buddy open and they trusted me to just have the ball in my hands and to go out there and finish.
00:31 How, I mean, obviously circumstances dictated it with Steph out, but how nice is it to have a moment like that, a situation late in the fourth where the ball is in your hands?
00:42 I think it's just a good learning lesson. Obviously, we're gonna have Steph most of the time. Just having that experience of knowing what you need to do out there, anytime, even when Steph comes back and Draymond comes back, you never know when moments like that will come around. So just having my team and my coaches trusting me in that moment, just learning. We're just gonna keep building from there.
01:10 Obviously, this is the second game now you've started with Draymond out. Is there a rhythm you feel like you get in early when you're starting, when you know the ball's coming to you a lot?
01:23 Not really. I love playing with Draymond. Just him not being out there, we miss him. It makes things easy for a lot of people, including me. But I don't really worry about it if Draymond starts or doesn't. All I worry about is just go out there and try my best to have a good game and to fit as a player.
01:48 Jonathan, you were talking about this being a learning experience, of being in the position of a end-of-the-game type of scoring and when your team needs a basket. What's it like before that? Did Steph or Draymond say anything to you in that final minute? I think you scored like five of your points in the last minute, five, or something like that.
02:07 They wanted me to go get the ball. That's how I got my confidence. They wanted me to go out there and just get the ball and just go from there. They trusted me. And that kind of boosted me. That kind of helped me to just be confident. I took a deep breath and I just went out there and just took care of the ball.
02:29 So are they saying that to you during timeouts? Are they saying to you while you're on the floor?
02:34 During timeout.
02:36 How ready for those type of reps do you feel?
02:40 I mean, I feel ready. I always work hard. I always learn from my elder, Steph and Draymond. There's gonna be moments where I'm gonna be the one being in those situations. So I just learn from those guys and I go about my day.
03:00 Speaking of those guys, you finished at that last basket. Then there's Draymond right there and there's Steph right there, congratulating you, chest-bumping you. What's that like to have those two guys be the ones celebrating with you?
03:10 It was like a dream come true. Just having those guys, they always push me every single day. They're always there, no matter what. And just seeing them cheering for me on that moment it means a lot.
03:27 Kerr said that, yeah, they've got to find ways to have you out there, but it's as a power forwaword. Do you feel like you're earning these minutes, or do you feel like you're expanding what they can expect from you?…
