Warriors’ Performance and Notable Statistics

Stephen Curry led Golden State with 31 points, logging his 13th game this season scoring at least 30. Jimmy Butler contributed 30 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, securing his fourth 30-point outing of the campaign. This marked only the second occasion where both Curry and Butler have achieved 30 or more points in a single game, with the Warriors losing both encounters, the previous being versus Orlando on 18 November.

Butler recorded 17 points, five assists, and four rebounds by half-time. However, the Warriors struggled from beyond the arc, converting just five of their 19 attempts before the break. That contest marks the third time in Butler’s last four outings that he has surpassed the 20-point mark.

Key Moments

Alexander-Walker punctuated the closing stages of the first half by scoring eight consecutive points in the final 1:14, including back-to-back three-pointers in the last minute. CJ McCollum capped the half with a buzzer-beating jumper, sending the Hawks to the interval ahead 59-53.

Dyson Daniels opened up a 70-58 lead for Atlanta with a layup at 8:47 in the third quarter, yet Golden State responded with a 10-0 run. Nevertheless, the Hawks quickly regained control and never relinquished their advantage.

Additional Notes and Milestones

Warriors forward Draymond Green had hit a three-pointer in each of his previous two matches but has not yet achieved the feat in three consecutive games. Golden State started strongly, converting five out of their first six shots and securing an early 14-4 edge, with Curry accounting for seven of those points.

In a milestone for the Curry family, Stephen and his father Dell have now become the second-highest scoring father-son duo in NBA history, surpassing Joe and Kobe Bryant’s combined 38,895-point tally. LeBron and Bronny James continue to lead with 42,692 points.
