The crowd at State Farm Arena was electric Saturday night as the Hawks outlasted the Golden State Warriors, placing the Atlanta team on a four-game winning streak.
Hawks shooting guard Dejounte Murray hit the game-tying shot with only seconds remaining in regulation, then dominated in overtime to seal the win.
The Hawks hope to keep the streak alive Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers at State Farm Arena. Currently sitting at 10th in the Eastern Conference, the team, led by head coach Quin Snyder, is slowly turning the season around.
In the past week, Murray, small forward Jalen Johnson and the rest of the Hawks have taken down some of basketball’s biggest names, including LeBron James and Kevin Durant. The team even spoiled Stephen Curry’s historic sixty-point performance during their Saturday game.
Two-time All-Star guard Trae Young has performed well in the team’s recent games despite not being selected for this year’s NBA All-Star game, something many Hawks fans are calling a snub.
“It’s always nice to put on a show for the fans and the team, but at the end of the day, you just want to win,” said Young.
