The Warriors lost six consecutive road games before the Hawks hosted them at State Farm Arena on Monday. Those road woes gave a glimmer of hope for an upset.
Unfortunately for the Hawks, from the moment Steph Curry stepped on the court for his circus-like warmups, it didn’t feel like a Warriors road game.
Golden State cruised to a 128-111 win in Atlanta. The Hawks didn’t have a solution for Curry, Klay Thompson or Kevin Durant – when they’re clicking, no one does - and absorbed their 13th loss in 15 games.
The Hawks accrued a deficit off nine first-quarter turnovers.
