The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Golden State Warriors 126–110 on March 21 at State Farm Arena, controlling the matchup through superior ball movement and interior defense. D. Daniels led Atlanta with 28 points, while C. McCollum added 23 as the Hawks shot 53.9 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers to stay well below the Vegas total of 228.5 points. Golden State's D. Melton (20 points) and N. Williams (19 points) led a Warriors offense that managed 50 percent shooting and 15 made threes but committed 21 turnovers, stalling momentum in crucial stretches. Atlanta's third-quarter surge—39 points in the period—proved decisive, offsetting Golden State's balanced first half. The Hawks' 41 rebounds and 28 assists demonstrated ball security and spacing, while their 107.3 defensive rating held the Warriors' 107.3 offensive rating in check. Golden State's 29-point fourth-quarter outburst came too late, with the game effectively decided by Atlanta's defensive tightening in the middle quarters. The loss leaves Golden State searching for consistency as the postseason approaches.
