Jonathan Kuminga Shines in Hawks’ Thrilling 107-106 Game 2 Comeback Win Over Knicks in Atlanta

Jonathan Kuminga delivered a pivotal fourth-quarter performance to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 107-106 comeback victory over the New York Knicks in Game 2 of their NBA playoff series.

The Hawks trailed for much of the game but rallied in the final period, with Kuminga contributing 19 points off the bench, including key baskets down the stretch. His effort helped Atlanta even the series at 1-1 heading back to Atlanta for Game 3.

CJ McCollum led all scorers with 32 points for the Hawks, while the Knicks were unable to hold onto a lead despite strong performances throughout the contest. The victory marked a significant turnaround after Atlanta’s loss in Game 1.

The win came at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on April 20, 2026, and was described as a team effort fueled by resilience and timely scoring from the bench. Kuminga’s energy and scoring burst in the fourth quarter proved critical in overcoming a deficit and securing the win.

With the series now tied, both teams prepare for Game 3, where the Hawks will look to build on their momentum and continue relying on contributions from their bench players to complement their starters.
