The Golden State Warriors got back in the win column on Wednesday night, using a 24-2 first-quarter run to build up a big lead that they would never give back, and beating the Atlanta Hawks 120-97. With the win, the Warriors moved to the top of the Western Conference standings with an 11-3 record, and built up a little momentum before heading on the road.
It was a good win, which means the players played well. But we still have to grade them! As always, grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade representing the average performance for that player.
