Andrew Wiggins delivered when the Warriors needed him most.
With Los Angeles leading three-games-to-one in the Western Conference semifinals, Wiggins scored 25 points, on 10-of-18 shooting from the field and 2 of 5 from 3-point range, with seven rebounds and five assists in the Warriors 121-106 win over the Lakers on Wednesday at Chase Center.
After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr praised Wiggins' clutch performance to reporters.
"This was the best game Wiggs has played since he's been back over the three weeks or so now," Kerr said. "Just the way he attacked, the way he got to the rim, that just adds another dimension to our attack. I thought the last couple games in LA, we didn't get to the line a ton. We settled for a lot of stuff and I thought Wiggs did a good job of really being aggressive."
