#1 Juancho Hernangomez's game-saving block on Damian Jones

The forward from Spain, Hernangomez is currently in his second year in the NBA. Last season, he averaged 4.9 points after featuring in only 13.6 minutes per game. After a dismal performance in the first two games, Juancho got extended minutes today and played for 23 minutes.

He scored 5 points and pulled down 6 boards. Although the statline looks dull, he definitely had an impact on the game as he came up alive a game-saving block to defeat the Warriors in a very closely fought affair.
