After a slow start that produced an early deficit for the Golden State Warriors against the Phoenix Suns, Steve Kerr turned to his second unit for a spark in the desert.
The Chris Paul-led group delivered. Behind Paul, Dario Saric, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemsk, the Warriors surged into command against the Suns. Golden State’s reserve group blasted past the Suns on a 13-0 run before halftime.
Paul connected with Kuminga to put an exclamation mark on Golden State’s run from the second unit in the second quarter. Just inside the halfcourt logo, Paul lobbed a high-arcing pass near the rim for Kuminga. The young forward exploded past Suns center Bol Bol for a high-flying alley-oop dunk.

Despite another loss for the Warriors against the Suns, Kuminga impressed off the bench on Tuesday. The former member of the G League Ignite tallied 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field to go along with six rebounds and a steal in 29 minutes.
