The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Golden State Warriors 124–111 on January 11 at Chase Center, with Nicolas Alexander-Walker and Jalen Johnson combining for 47 points in the victory. The Hawks' offensive efficiency proved decisive, shooting 48.9 percent from the field and draining 15 three-pointers while committing just 7 turnovers compared to Golden State's 15. Atlanta's third quarter proved pivotal, outscoring the Warriors 35–25 to establish control; the Hawks' defensive rating of 107.5 held the home team well below the Vegas total of 237.5. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 31 points and Jimmy Butler III added 30, but Golden State's 46.7 percent shooting and 10 made threes proved insufficient against Atlanta's balanced attack and 33 assists. The Warriors' defensive rating of 122.8 exposed vulnerabilities that will require adjustment as they navigate the remainder of the season.
