Klay Thompson scored a season-best 54 points and the Golden State Warriors held off the Atlanta Hawks 143-141 in an epic double-overtime battle Monday night.
SAN FRANCISCO — Kevon Looney tipped in the game-winner on his own offensive rebound as the final buzzer sounded in the second overtime after missing moments before, Klay Thompson scored a season-best 54 points, and the Golden State Warriors held off the Atlanta Hawks 143-141 on Monday night.
Thompson shot 21 for 39 and his 10 3-pointers matched a season high — and his 54 were six off his career-best scoring outing of 60 accomplished in three quarters on Dec. 5, 2016. He hit a go-ahead 3 with 18 seconds left in the first overtime after his tying 3 with 1:55 to go in the initial extra period.
Reigning NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry danced in delight at outcome after missing his ninth straight game with a partially dislocated left shoulder. All five Atlanta starters scored in double figures and six players in all, including Bogdan Bogdanovic's 21 off the bench. This time, the Hawks made the adjustments: They surrendered a season-best 47 points to LeBron James on his 38th birthday in a 130-121 home loss Friday night.
Center James Wiseman sat out a second straight game after he rolled his left ankle taking part in a 3-on-3 scrimmage following the morning shootaround Friday. He is getting treatment and improving but unlikely to play Wednesday.
