SAN FRANCISCO \u2013 Jonathan Kuminga was back in peak form, scoring 26 points and grabbing eight rebounds but the Warriors couldn\u2019t make it stand up and lost to the Indiana Pacers 111-105 on Monday at Chase Center.<\/p>\n
Stephen Curry had a rough night shooting and finished with 10 points and seven assists. He shot just 2 of 13 overall.<\/p>\n
Andrew Wiggins scored 16 points. Trayce Jackson-Davis had 13 points, eight rebounds and three assists while Buddy Hield added 13 points.<\/p>\n
The Warriors trailed most of the night and were down 106-104 with 1:42 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter but failed to get any closer despite a late Pacers turnover. Curry\u2019s potential go-ahead 3-pointer clanked off the front of the rim, and Indiana\u2019s Myles Turner responded with a 3-pointer to help secure Indiana’s win.<\/p>\n
Golden State (15-13) has lost five of its last six.<\/p>\n
The Pacers remained the only NBA team that is undefeated at Chase Center with a 6-0 mark.<\/p>\n
Next up for the Warriors are the Los Angeles Lakers. The two teams square off Wednesday at Chase Center in the centerpiece of the NBA\u2019s Christmas Day fiesta.<\/p>\n
Here are the takeaways from Monday\u2019s game:<\/p>\n
Kuminga appeared to take Steve Kerr\u2019s comments about attacking the rim and being more aggressive to heart. The 6-foot-7 forward, indirectly criticized for rushing his shot and not doing more to get Curry involved in Friday\u2019s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, came out in attack mode from the jump against the Pacers.<\/p>\n
Nearly every shot that he took was inside the key and close the rim, exactly the type of stuff where he excels. JK also showed extreme patience both with his shot and getting the ball to others. Kuminga dished out four assists.<\/p>\n
