Surprisingly, Kerr chose Kuminga over Wiggins for the closing lineup.

According to Anthony Slater: Kerr faces nightly closing lineup choices, opting for Kuminga. Kuminga's offensive rebounds crucial, but missed free throws too.

Kerr explained his decision: Kuminga and GP defended well against Kevin and Book, so they closed the game.
