Regression hits hard
Kuminga finished with 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and two rebounds in 25 minutes during Saturday's 114-98 loss to New York in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Kuminga was unable to maintain his recent momentum, struggling from the field while adding little in the peripheral columns. At one point, he missed four consecutive shots during the second quarter yet continued to force things at an inappropriate time. The series is now level at 2-2 heading back to New York. The hope for Atlanta is that Kuminga can play more like he did during the two previous games, both of which were victories for the Hawks.

Provides 21 points off bench
Kuminga supplied 21 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 109-108 victory over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Kuminga found success on the offensive end for a second straight appearance. He's scored 40 combined points over that brief stretch, resulting in a pair of victories. This Atlanta squad is clearly dangerous when Kuminga is firing on all cylinders off the bench while CJ McCollum and Jalen Johnson lead the charge with the first unit.

Pops off bench
Kuminga provided 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 107-106 victory over New York in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Kuminga nearly matched the output of the New York second unit with 19 points compared to their 20. He's averaging 13.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists through two postseason games, but he's shooting just 16.7 percent from beyond the arc thus far.
