Stephen Curry is trying to distance himself from the other rookie of the year candidates, and he is doing a great job at it. Curry scored 32 points, including a huge technical free throw in the final minute of the game and the Golden State Warriors came from 18 points down to defeat the Atlanta Hawks 108-104 at Oracle Arena. This was the 3rd time this season that the Warriors came from 18 down to win a game, both coming at Oracle Arena. The Boston Celtics and the Sacramento Kings were the Warriors victims, and the Celtics were the last team that the Warriors defeated with a winning record. With the Warriors trailing by 18 points, instead of giving up, they came all the way with a 16-0 run, their largest run of the season. Monta Ellis scored 26 points in his second game back after missing a week with a sprained left knee, as the Warriors won their second straight game. Chris Hunter came up huge, as he scored 12 points in place of Ronny Turiaf and Corey Maggette, who were forced to miss the game with injuries. C.J. Watson scored 15 points, as the Warriors played with just eight players. Joe Johnson led the Hawks with 31 points, while former Warriors guard Jamal Crawford added 17 off the bench . Al Horford chipped in with 25 for the Hawks, who saw their record on the season fall to 34-20. |
