Warriors roll past Hawks for fifth straight win at home

Hawks Warriors

Andrew Wiggins scored a game-high 27 points, Stephen Curry added 23 and the Golden State Warriors recorded their fifth straight home win with a 120-97 romp over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night in San Francisco.

Trayce Jackson-Davis had 14 points and 11 rebounds for Golden State, which bounced back after losing Monday on the road to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Warriors overcame a sluggish start against the Hawks, who were playing their third game in four nights, to dominate the final seven-plus minutes of the first quarter, turning a 15-14 deficit into a 41-22 advantage.

Buddy Hield came off the bench to contribute eight points to the 27-7 flurry, helping Golden State score its most points in the first quarter this season.

Down 67-42 at halftime, the Hawks made a bit of a push in the third quarter and early in the fourth, closing within 90-77 on two free throws by De’Andre Hunter with 11:02 left in the game. But Lindy Waters III countered with a 3-pointer and Golden State kept Atlanta at bay the rest of the way.

Wiggins shot 12 of 17 from the floor and went 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. He added seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks.

Curry, who had eight assists, went 4-for-6 from 3-point range to help the Warriors shoot 14 for 40 from deep. Atlanta went 12-of-46 from beyond the arc.

Hield (11), Waters (10) and Jonathan Kuminga (10) also scored in double figures for the Warriors. Draymond Green added nine points, nine assists, seven rebounds and two blocks in the win.

Jalen Johnson led a balanced attack with 15 points and added a game-high 14 rebounds for the Hawks, who had lost at Portland on Sunday and won at Sacramento on Monday to begin a four-game trip.

Trae Young had 12 points and 11 assists and Zaccharie Risacher also scored 12 points in the loss. Clint Capela and Dyson Daniels had 11 points each and Hunter finished with 10 off the bench for the Hawks.
