Dyson Daniels matched his career high with 28 points to help the Atlanta Hawks defeat the visiting Golden State Warriors, 126-110, and extend their homecourt winning streak to 10 games yesterday (Philippine time).

The victory, combined with Orlando’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, lifted the Hawks (39-32) into sixth in the Eastern Conference standings, the last guaranteed playoff spot.

Daniels was 12-for-17 from the field with seven rebounds, six assists and four steals to help the Hawks bounce back from their 11-game winning streak being snapped vs. Houston.

CJ McCollum scored 15 of his 23 points in the third quarter to help Atlanta pull away in a game it led by two points at halftime.

The Hawks got 17 points each from Zaccharie Risacher and Nickeil Alexander-Walker and 16 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks from Mouhamed Gueye, who started in place of leading scorer Jalen Johnson (left shoulder inflammation).

Golden State (33-38) was led by De’Anthony Melton with 20 points, Nate Williams with 19 points and Pat Spencer with 18. The Warriors are 1-4 on their six-game road trip.

Atlanta, thanks to a 15-point first quarter by Daniels, led by as many as eight, but Golden State took a 36-35 lead into the second quarter. The Warriors built on that momentum and led by as many as eight points in the second, but the Hawks went on an 11-2 run to take a 55-54 lead. Atlanta led 63-61 at intermission.

Atlanta outscored the Warriors 39-20 in the third quarter. The Hawks led by as many as 24 points, 90-66, on an emphatic dunk by Gueye at the 6:16 mark of the third. Atlanta led 102-81 entering the final quarter.

The Hawks swept the two-game season series against Golden State and have won seven in a row against the Warriors in Atlanta. (Field Level Media / Reuters)
