5 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 1 steal, in 22 minutes of playing time. That’s what Kevon Looney came off of the bench to provide the Golden State Warriors in their stirring Game 5 victory against the Houston Rockets. Dub Nation rewarded him with the majority of the votes in yesterday’s “Warrior Wonder” poll, a surprising outcome to me based on the packed field of Warriors contributors for that monster game.
Looney’s impact on the game went beyond the box score though. The energy boost he provided was contagious, his hustle plays whipped Oracle Arena into a frenzy.
