“I’ve been working. I’m working hard. This is the first game that I’m part of the rotation,” the guard told NBC Sports Bay Areaat halftime.
“If i got to crash to the rim, I’m going to do it. I’m just trying to do everything I can to help my teammates do better,” he added.

Santos’ fellow reserves also delivered, with Lindy Waters III scoring 11 points in 19 minutes while his three treys coming in the first half.
