The Golden State Warriors earned a much-needed in on Monday, beating the Brooklyn Nets 109-98.
Once again, Stephen Curry led the team, scoring 29 points and 5 rebounds.
But Jonathan Kuminga was close behind him, with 28 points and 10 rebounds during the game.
Late Monday night, StatMamba pointed out that Curry and Kuminga are now the highest-scoring duo in the NBA over the last ten games.

It has been an interesting season for both Curry and Kuminga, to put it lightly.
Curry has been averaging 28.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5 assists so far this season, proving that even at 35 years old, he is one of the best players in the league.
He has had a few bad games, but Curry has remained remarkably consistent as his team has struggled all year.
As for Kuminga, he has been the team’s second-biggest success story.
He is putting up 15.4 points and 4.7 rebounds this season.
During the last ten teams, Kuminga has posted 24.9 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
This duo works quite well together and there are quite a few fans who envision Kuminga as the future of the franchise.
This is his third season with the team and his best yet.
Because of his strong performances, there is a growing consensus that the Warriors are holding tightly to Kuminga and won’t deal him away in any potential trade this week.
In fact, he will likely get an even bigger role within the lineup over the next few weeks as Golden State is tinkered with and transformed.
Not many things have been going well for the Warriors this year, but the combination of Curry and Kuminga has certainly given the team something to believe in.
