The Atlanta Hawks (26-24) now sit fourth in the Eastern Conference standings after a win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday evening. The win marked the third straight victory for Atlanta. The Hawks were largely powered by their second unit in this one, especially by the play of Danilo Gallinari and Lou Williams. Atlanta had 55 bench points in the game compared to just 19 points by the Warriors’ bench.
Despite again missing starters John Collins and De’Andre Hunter, Atlanta still looked like a solid, complete group in the 117-111 victory.
“The strength is in our numbers, as we are saying,” said interim head coach Nate McMillan following the win.
