Jonathan Kuminga makes the 6th longest shot in NBA history during Hawks’ 11th straight win

The Atlanta Hawks continue their triumphant march with an 11th consecutive victory against the Dallas Mavericks (135-120). This game will be remembered for the incredible feat by Jonathan Kuminga, who hit the 6th longest basket in NBA history since the play-by-play era.

At the buzzer ending the third quarter, Kuminga sent what appeared to be a lob pass toward Jock Landale, but the ball ended up going into the opponent’s basket. Measured at 75 feet, this shot becomes the longest in Hawks franchise history, erasing Jason Terry’s record set in 2000.
