Golden State Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks Game Summary

The Hawks raced off to a hot start, leading 40-23 at the end of the first quarter. Young got his scoring going early while getting good looks for the likes of Okongwu and Risacher. Atlanta, in fact, continued to move the ball well as a collective unit and remained in control with a 69-57 lead at halftime.

Though the Warriors tried to crank things up on the offensive end off the halftime break, the prolific offense of Young and Niang gave the Hawks a comfortable cushion heading into the final 12 minutes. In the end, Golden State had no answer for the home team's hot shooting from outside (41.7%, to be exact), as well as the Hawks' scintillating 49-86 shooting overall.
