Jonas Jerebko’s tip-in with 0.3 seconds left gave Golden State a 124-123 win in a truly bonkers game in Utah Friday night. In just his second game as a member of the Warriors, Jerebko got inside position on Utah center Rudy Gobert, and was the first to the ball after Kevin Durant missed a free-throw line jumper.

After the game, head coach Steve Kerr talked to reporters about the moment.
“That’s the moment he’s one of us,” Kerr said of Jerebko. “Any time you’re a new guy with a team you’re trying to make your mark. You do it in practice by going hard, you do it with your work ethic, but as soon as you hit a game-winner that pretty much solidifies it.”
It was a nice capper for a solid all-around game for Jerebko, who scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds in 24 minutes, including an extended run in crunch time.
Friday was just Jerebko’s second game as a member of the Warriors, after signing a one-year deal worth $2.1 million this offseason. Jerebko played in 74 games for the Jazz last year.
