Summary
The Atlanta Hawks won their 11th straight game, beating the Dallas Mavericks 135-120, led by Jonathan Kuminga’s improbable 75-foot 3-pointer in the third quarter. Kuminga’s shot was the longest by a Hawks player in the play-by-play era and the sixth-longest in the era since 1997-98. The win streak has propelled the Hawks to the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Kuminga’s shot was just another chapter in the Hawks’ winning streak, which has become a staple of their season.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, are stuck in a rut, losing 11 of their last 13 games and heading towards the draft lottery.
This one felt recognizable early, with the Hawks’ offense clicking and the Mavericks’ struggles on full display.
Kuminga’s shot was a moment that will be remembered for a while, but it was just one of many highlights in the Hawks’ 11th straight win.
Original Observation: The streak is starting to feel like a habit for the Hawks, and it’s hard to see them breaking it anytime soon.
