The Atlanta Hawks began their Western Conference road trip on Monday night with a tough loss against the Golden State Warriors in double overtime, 143-141, stretching their losing streak to four games.
Four Hawks scored 20 or more points, Trae Young leading the way with 30 points and 14 assists. For the Warriors — without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins — Klay Thompson poured out a season-high 54 points.
You would have been forgiven turning this one off at halftime, as the Hawks trailed by as many as 21 points in the first half and while the Warriors had played well in the first half (their ball movement was generated great opportunities) the Hawks didn’t exactly show up defensively, conceding 70 first half points.
