The Golden State Warriors unsurprisingly pummeled the shorthanded Sacramento Kings on Wednesday evening by the score 109-86.
The Warriors have been without center Zaza Pachulia (shoulder) all month, which has has forced Steve Kerr to start journeyman 7-footer JaVale McGee.
McGee made the most of his 18 minutes, scoring eight points with 10 boards and one assist.
Four of McGee’s points were pretty damn exciting. Early in the third quarter, he dunked all over DeMarcus Cousins.

Later in the third, Stephen Curry found McGee for a sensational alley-oop in what was arguably the most exciting possession of the game.

McGee’s clearly making a case to be kept in the rotation beyond Pachulia’s return.
