Hawks Dominate Warriors 124-111 in Impressive Road Victory

Hawks Extend Winning Streak with Commanding Performance

The Atlanta Hawks delivered a commanding performance at Chase Center, defeating the Golden State Warriors 124-111 on Sunday night, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker scoring 24 points and Jalen Johnson contributing 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. This victory marks the Hawks’ third consecutive win, showcasing their offensive depth and resilience against a competitive Warriors team.

New Acquisitions Make Immediate Impact

The game held special significance for Atlanta as CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert made their debut with the Hawks, following Wednesday’s trade that sent Trae Young to the Wizards, with their first test with their new squad proving successful in helping defeat the Warriors 124-111. Luke Kennard also had a season-best 22 points and six 3-pointers off the bench in the Hawks’ third straight win. The team’s balanced attack featured six players in double figures, demonstrating their newfound depth following the roster shake-up.

Warriors’ Home Streak Snapped Despite Curry’s Milestone

For Golden State, the loss ended their three-game home winning streak. Stephen Curry and father Dell have now scored the second-most points by a father-son duo in NBA history, passing Joe and Kobe Bryant’s 38,895, with LeBron James and Bronny remaining first with 42,692. Despite the milestone, Curry’s 31-point performance wasn’t enough to overcome Atlanta’s balanced attack.

What This Means for Both Teams

The victory improves Atlanta’s position as they continue their four-game Western road trip, demonstrating their ability to compete without former star Trae Young. The Atlanta Hawks entered the game with a 19-21 record, ninth in the Eastern Conference, whilst the Golden State Warriors stood at 21-18, eighth in the Western Conference. For the Warriors, this setback highlights defensive vulnerabilities that need addressing as they continue their homestand. Both teams will seek to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures, with the Hawks continuing their four-game road trip at the Lakers on Tuesday night whilst the Warriors host Portland on Tuesday night.
