The Warriors 134 points not enough in 140-134 loss to the Hawks

Despite a hot shooting night from Stephen Curry, the Warrior offense was not enough to outlast the Hawks, falling 140-134 on Monday night in Atlanta on the tail end of a back-to-back. Curry led the Warriors with 48 points, the seventh straight game that Curry has scored 30 or more points, and six assists on 8-for-12 shooting from beyond the arc.

The Warriors fell behind early in the first, trailing 44-30 at the end of the quarter before cutting the lead to 70-66 at half time. The hot shooting for both sides continued in the second half, as the Warriors rallied all the way back to take a 100-96 lead entering the fourth. Led by Trae Young (52 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists), the Hawks scored 44 in the final frame to hold on for the victory.

D’Angelo Russell continued his high-scoring season, tallying 32 points on 14 made field goals, a new season high. Draymond Green set a new career-high with 22 rebounds with eight points.
