Andrew Wiggins put in a brilliant 19-point night on Wednesday, but fellow winger Kelly Uber Jr. continued his struggles early in the season on offense, moving to 0-6 from 3-point range and 4-13 from the field to an eight-point finish. Wiggins and Aubrey Jr. didn’t show that they could be consistent enough to carry warriors every night.
