Overview
- Luke Kennard hit six 3-pointers and fueled a 22-7 surge bridging the third and fourth quarters to put the game out of reach.
- Jalen Johnson posted 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker led Atlanta with 24 points as six Hawks scored in double figures.
- CJ McCollum debuted with 12 points and four assists and Corey Kispert also saw minutes after the trade that sent Trae Young to Washington.
- Golden State shot 10-of-42 from deep (23.8%) and committed 16 turnovers that Atlanta converted into a large points-off-giveaways edge.
- Stephen Curry scored 31 and Jimmy Butler added 30, but only De’Anthony Melton reached double figures otherwise as a three-game home win streak ended; Curry later cited a lack of energy against a young, athletic Hawks team.
