Andrew Wiggins stepped up when Golden State needed him the most. With Stephen Curry struggling from beyond the arc, Wiggins had to lead the way in the scoring category. He finished with 26 points on 12-of-23 shooting. He added 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals in the victory.

Wiggins threw down a vicious dunk on Derrick White with about 2:05 left to go in the game to seal the victory.

Wiggins said he wanted to tell everyone, "We’re here," with the dunk he threw down.

"We’re hungry. We want this," he added.

Curry was 7-of-22 from the field, including a shocking 0-for-9 from the three-point line. He managed to finish with 16 points, eight assists and three rebounds. Klay Thompson added 21 points and was the only Warriors starter to make a three-point shot.
