If the Warriors can play a clean game and force Atlanta into making mistakes with their defense, then they should have a good chance to win despite being undermanned. Meanwhile, the Hawks come into tonight’s matchup as losers in four out of their last five games including their most recent 130-121 loss against the [Los Angeles Lakers](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com) on Friday. The key to this game will be Golden State’s ability to limit turnovers. Aside from Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, the most impactful injury for the Warriors is to second year player Jonathan Kuminga who has been a staple of the team’s defensive prowess during this homestand. [Portland Trail Blazers](https://www.blazersedge.com) on Friday night, 118-112. The game will take place at 7:00PM PT in San Francisco and can be watched on NBA TV and NBC Sports Bay Area

Grading Klay Thompson, Kevon Looney, Jordan Poole, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's 143-141 double-overtime victory over the Atlanta ...

Moody had a few big plays in this game, but he continues to just not do quite enough. Lamb played huge minutes in the first half when the Warriors build up a 21-point lead. With about 15 seconds left in regulation, and the Warriors trailing by a point, Poole rushed when he didn’t need to, and dribbled off his thigh and out of bounds. He’s still unlikely to be a rotation player until next year, but he’s firmly at the point where the Dubs can play him when they’re shorthanded, which they might be for a while. Baldwin is starting to look more and more comfortable on defense, which allows Steve Kerr to play him more and more. He’s had more assists than turnovers just twice during Curry’s nine-game absence, and during that time has turned the ball over 46 times to just 33 assists. On the other hand, he was pretty darn inefficient, and he had a few really rough plays in the closing moments. A bit of an odd game for JP. As was the defense in this game. Looney’s plus/minus is rather shocking, and by “shocking” I mean a reminder that you shouldn’t read too much into single-game individual plus/minus. As always, grades are weighted based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” representing the average performance. It gives them a five-game winning streak, which is a season best, despite the fact that Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins have been sidelined for all five games.

"I would not have been able to do this a few months ago, so this is a huge milestone for me," Thompson said. "The first one, I rushed it really quickly, and I just realized nobody was panicking or celebrating," Looney said about missing his first attempt. In late October, his eagerness to be back on the court and to prove naysayers wrong was a disservice to him, he said.

Monday will be the 14th straight game Wiggins has missed. “My understanding is our training staff is not concerned long-term but something has to be remedied,” Kerr said of Green. Kuminga was added to the team’s injury report Sunday evening after suffering a right foot sprain in Friday’s win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Warriors big man puts back his own miss after corralling Klay Thompson's errant 3, marking the season's 11th buzzer-beating game-winner.

CELEBRATION: Looney fist-bumped and started a sweeping turn past the dejected Hawks’ bench, laughing wide all the way into a spin-jump celebratory collision with Jordan Poole. Dejounte Murray answered with a 3, and then a Thompson miss set up Trae Young’s teardrop floater 8.2 ticks from the finish. But much isn’t all, and with 0.6 seconds to play, Donte Di Vincenzo collected a loose ball and swished a tying 3 to send the game into overtime. GAME SITUATION: The Hawks had ground their way back into this one after a slow start, and actually led much of the fourth quarter. A crushing loss for the Hawks, who led by as many as nine points in the fourth quarter. Then we give it an overall grade on a scale of 1-5 Robert Horrys, named for the patron saint of last-second answered prayers.

Kevon Looney sealed the Warriors' wild victory over Atlanta with the first game-winner of his career, reminding everyone of his "indispensable" worth.

His first attempt, he admitted after the win, was rushed. He's one of the best passing centers in the NBA, plays top-notch defense and will scratch and claw his way to as many rebounds as needed. Understanding body language and the reaction of those around him in the blink of an eye, Looney realized he had more time. When the Warriors drafted him out of UCLA with the final pick in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft, they thought he might be more of a small forward or stretch-four in the pros. Against the Hawks in a game where the Warriors once led by 21 points, Looney snatched 20 rebounds for the home team. On the recruiting trail in Milwaukee, Looney was his own superstar. Monday night marked his 149th straight game played in the regular season. Fighting for a rebound off a clanked 3-pointer from Thompson, Kevon Looney extended his right arm and tried to tip in the game-winner before the clock ran out. That's the most he has scored since his return, and the second-most points of his storied career. His ability to be out there every single night, his ability to read the offense, protect the rim and rebound -- I mean, 20 rebounds is not easy to do. Like the ultimate fighter he is, Looney grabbed his own miss, immediately put it back up off the backboard and gave Golden State its fifth straight win. Of course, Klay reveled in the moment and always will remember his latest epic performance.

Klay Thompson had a vintage game on Monday night, putting up 54 points on the Atlanta Hawks as the Warriors won in 2OT on a Kevon Looney tip-in.

This game turned into a Nets highlight real for Mbappe and the Brooklyn crowd. Mitchell shot 22-of-34 overall, 7-of-15 from 3, got to the line 25 times, and dished out 11 assists (he accounted for 99 of the Cavaliers’ 145 points). The Warriors have two more at home before heading out on the road again and they are stockpiling the wins while they can. LOONEY! The Warriors led by 21 but needed a [January 3, 2023] That 16th home win came because we had a vintage Klay Thompson game — 54 points with 10 made 3-pointers.

The Warriors' five-game win streak without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins should have the rest of the NBA on high alert.

Thompson shouted out "Strength In Numbers" at the podium on a night when he was a one-man show at times. Stars such as himself, Thompson and Jordan Poole have put together big performances to get back in the win column and to stay there. The Warriors are a half-game back from being a top-six team in the West and avoiding the play-in tournament. "We just got to continue to get better and embrace the process of improving each and every day. "I'm a basketball fan, so I look at it, of course," Green said in the Warriors' locker room. Get in the playoffs, and good luck to the rest of the league. The Warriors have won five games in a row, all without Curry and Andrew Wiggins, who missed his 14th straight game to a right adductor strain and then an illness. The standings are even kinder to the Warriors than Thompson knew. "We realize we're only four, five, maybe six games back from first place and we know it's a long season and it's about catching that fire at the right time." "We do look at the standings," Thompson continued. Players, coaches and the rest of the organization expect better. They sat in the 11th spot of the Western Conference standings with a Christmas Day date against the first-place Memphis Grizzlies.

The Warriors have won with effort. They've won through force. They've won by competing. But these Warriors don't win without Kevon Looney.

This resurgence of the Warriors, when it felt like their season was on the brink and they desperately needed a win streak, has been authored by the team playing with Looney’s type of spirit. The kind that wins on the road. “Earlier in the season, we usually just won games that were free-flowing and the high-scoring type of games. He’s never complained about minutes, or getting sacrificed on the altar of others’ potential, or not getting shots, or not getting the money to reflect his value. [Jordan Poole](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/jordan-poole-OKSId48WraP8pRNl/), his little bro, was the first to him. And this time, Looney got to be the finisher. They don’t have the infrastructure to begin their two-timeline plan. Even [Stephen Curry](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/stephen-curry-toS7DgUD3IIt7uds/), who can hardly ever contain himself, leapt into the mix. His brown sweater, and [Andre Iguodala](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/andre-iguodala-7RfErxUArIzNaN3b/)’s leather jacket, popped amid the bouncing blue and gold huddle. They moved into a virtual three-way tie for seventh in the West, two games back of the No. The Warriors’ 20th win of the season was Looney’s turn to drink from the chalice of glory. Then it became about who had the fortitude to execute against the opponent, the tension and fatigue.

The Warriors' five-game win streak without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins should have the rest of the NBA on high alert.

Half a game separates the fifth-seed Sacramento Kings and the ninth-seed Golden State Warriors in a tightly run Western Conference.

Their NBA Finals opponent, the Boston Celtics, provided the blueprint for a second-half surge last season. What’s more, the competitive and close nature of the Western Conference means the Warriors could soon be knocking on the door of a top four seed. But even the top two teams are only 4.5 games ahead of the Warriors, and given their rising form, there must be optimism that Golden State could still procure home-court advantage come playoff time.

Warriors superstar Klay Thompson openly pondered his future after turning back the block for 54 points against the Hawks.

Basking in the afterglow of a throwback performance the future Hall-of-Famer once doubted he’d ever be able to muster again, Thompson was simply showing appreciation for his decade-plus with the Warriors. Thompson has one season left on the five-year, $190 million extension he signed with the Warriors in July 2019, just days after his knee injury. Thompson’s postgame pontificating was no indication of his desire to leave the only franchise he’s ever known going forward. He’s already done much more than most anticipated following that devastating injury luck, leading the Dubs with 36 minutes per game on their run to a remarkable fourth championship in eight years last season. Klay Thompson turned back the clock on Monday night, erupting for 54 points and 10 triples when his woefully short-handed team needed him most. I’ve just had to remind myself daily that this literally is a dream I’m living.

After Klay Thompson's 54-point performance and Kevon Looney's heroic game-winner against the Hawks in double-overtime, NBA Twitter exploded with reactions ...

Veteran forward Andre Iguodala has not played in a game yet this season due to a lingering hip injury and the Golden State Warriors shared an update on his ...

Be on the lookout for a new episodes every Friday. On the floor though, Andre Iguodala can still be a valuable asset given his high IQ, passing abilities and defensive instincts, which is why having him healthy for late in the season and in the playoffs is key for this franchise. His value to the Warriors off-the-court is much more important than his contributions on the court at this point in his career, which is one of the main reasons why they wanted him to return for the 2022-23 season.

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala scrimmaged with the team's G League affiliate as he nears a return to the court.

There’s absolutely no rush to get Iguodala back on the court. But the plan remains for Iguodala to play, and likely play a sizable role. Iguodala has been a fixture on the Warriors bench this year, rocking memorable fits, celebrating with teammates, and coaching up youngsters.

When one thinks of transcendent basketball franchises, the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors immediately come to mind.
