With the Golden State Warriors cruising to an impressive win over the red-hot Dallas Mavericks, the fourth quarter turned into the Jonathan Kuminga show at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
The No. 7 overall pick from the 2021 NBA draft added to his rookie highlight reel with a must-see dunk that caused fireworks for the home crowd in the final frame.
With just over seven minutes remaining in the game, Kuminga received a full-court outlet pass from Nemanja Bjelica. After two dribbles, Kuminga rose for a powerful hammer dunk over Dallas wing Josh Green. Following his explosive slam, his teammates and fans in the arena erupted.

Kuminga finished the contest leading Golden State in scoring with 22 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field. Along with displaying his athleticism at the rim, the 19-year-old showed off his jumper from beyond the arc. Kuminga was perfect from long-distance against the Mavericks with four 3-pointers on four attempts.
The rookie was one of seven different members of the Warriors to record double-figures in scoring in their blowout win over Luka Doncic and the Mavericks, 130-92.
