What happened: Warriors coach Steve Kerr said rookie Yaxel Lendeborg "really doesn't know the NBA game yet" after a 37-point night. Kerr added: "He's going to get a lot better." Lendeborg shot 13-of-19 from the field and 6-of-11 from three, with 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Why it matters: The 37 points are the most by a Warriors rookie in a game since Stephen Curry scored 42 in 2010. Kerr framing the performance as the product of instinct rather than experience points to a player whose role is still growing.

By the numbers: Lendeborg: 37 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 13-of-19 FG, 6-of-11 3PT. In 2026-27 through 7 games, he averaged 17 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3 assists.

What to watch: Golden State faces the Suns next.
