Dyson Daniels scored a season-high 28 points and CJ McCollumn had 23 points as the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Golden State Warriors 126-110 on Saturday night. The Hawks were without Jalen Johnson due to left shoulder inflammation, but got strong performances from Zaccharie Risacher, Mouhamed Gueye, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Daniels had 15 points in the first quarter, a career-high for one quarter, and finished with six assists and four steals. The Warriors were missing several key players due to injury, including Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody, Al Horford, Seth Curry, and star Steph Curry, who is progressing in his recovery.

Why it matters

This was an important bounce-back win for the Hawks, who had their 11-game win streak snapped in their previous game. The Warriors, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing 8 of their last 9 games as they await the return of several injured players. This game showcased the depth and talent of the Hawks, who were able to win convincingly despite being without one of their key players.

The details

They shot an impressive 54% from the floor and were 12 for 13 in 2-point field goals, leading 102-81 after three quarters. Dyson Daniels had a career-high 15 points in the first quarter and finished with 28 points, 6 assists, and 4 steals. CJ McCollumn added 23 points for the Hawks.
