Jonathan Kuminga ties Golden State Warriors history in emotionally-charged win over Hawks

On an emotional night remembering Dejan Milojević, the Golden State Warriors have overcome a devastating week to honor the beloved assistant coach's legacy with a 134-112 win over the Atlanta Hawks.

With a ceremony and tributes flowing pre-game, a number of Warrior players and coaches were visibly emotional before having to go out and play their first game since 'Deki' passed away last Wednesday.

The Warriors found their flow offensively early on, putting up 38 first-quarter points to take a seven-point lead. The Hawks responded with 37 of their own second-quarter, leaving the hosts with a one-point lead in an offensive-driven first-half.

The teams continued to go back-and-forth to open the third-quarter, with the Hawks even taking a four-point lead a few minutes into the second-half. But playing without their primary offensive engine in Trae Young, Atlanta couldn't keep up with the scoring pace as Golden State lifted their defensive intensity.

What forecasted as a 50-50 game halfway through the third quickly developed into a comfortable Golden State victory. The Warriors outscored their opponents 24-13 over the final seven minutes of the period to take a nine-point lead to the fourth, before quickly lifting it to 15 and beyond early in the final period.

Jonathan Kuminga quickly became the star of the show, with a fadeaway jumpshot in the final minutes tying Chris Mullin's franchise record of a perfect 11-of-11 from the field.

The 21-year-old also became the youngest player in NBA history to record 25 points on 100% from the field, with Kuminga also adding nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in an excellent all-around game.

Stephen Curry stepped up after a slow start to also add 25 points, while fellow splash brother Klay Thompson had 24 points on 5-of-10 shooting from three-point range. The Warriors had seven players score in double-figures, while veteran Cory Joseph also added a season-high eight points.

Draymond Green proved pivotal off the bench in his second game back from suspension, continuing his hot shooting season with another pair off triples as the 33-year-old recorded 12 points, five rebounds, three assists and an equal game-high +19 in just under 23 minutes.

Golden State shot 56% from the floor and 48.5% (16-of-33) from beyond the arc, while the Atlanta offense deteriorated to less than 42% and 32.6% from three-point range. Both teams recorded 10 turnovers, with the Hawks taking and making four more free-throw attempts.

The Warriors will look to build off the momentum when they host the Sacramento Kings on the second night of a back-to-back at Chase Center on Thursday.
