SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Stephen Curry hit an NBA season high of 50 points with nine 3-pointers, 10 assists and seven rebounds, almost single-handedly leading the Golden State Warriors past Atlanta Hawks 127-113 on Monday night.

Only Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry had registered a 50 point, 10 assist game in the history of the Warriors franchise.

Curry dominated for long stretches and danced for joy, repeatedly raising his arms in the air to encourage anyone fortunate enough to witness another of his brilliant feats.

He scored Golden State’s first 13 points, then 10 on the track in the third before dropping for Juan Toscano-Anderson’s 3-pointer points, who made it 102-85 after the Warriors’ spectacular 41-point quarter.

Play along with the chants of “MVP! MVP! “Curry startled the fans with 8:48 minutes in the first game when he appeared to have injured his left shoulder. He was examined by medical staff during a Hawks break and could be seen nodding and moving his arms to shake his shoulder before causing cheers if he stayed in the game.

Curry made his 10th 50-point game of his career and already had 24 points in 7v12 shooting at halftime with five 3-pointers.

He landed 14 for 28 off the floor and made all 13 of his free throws as the Warriors won their fifth straight win. They keep their opponents at 95.8 points during the unbeaten route.

Trae Young had 28 points and nine assists in Atlanta’s fourth straight loss and sixth on seven points.

Jordan Poole added 16 points and Andrew Wiggins 13 for Golden State (9-1) in the second game of an encounter.

The Warriors fell back 55:40 in the second game, but came within 65:61 at halftime before their decisive third.

Hawks trainer Nate McMillan is delighted with Gary Payton II, son of McMillan’s veteran teammate Gary Payton at the Seattle SuperSonics.

McMillan remembers the younger Payton, who used to hang around Sonics’ headquarters.

“Little G. I just remember running across the court with a ball and following his pops,” said McMillan. “To see him grow, he worked his way into this league and he earned his right to a place on a squad and he contributes to that. He plays great basketball. “

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) To Steve Kerr, Dallas looked like a team in the playoffs while Golden State was stuck in an exhibition game.

Luka Doncic scored 39 points and the defeated Mavericks jumped on Golden State from the start to beat the Warriors with 133-103 on Tuesday night.

“The biggest game of the year and it was over before it started,” said Kerr, whose team was 43 behind them.

Stephen Curry scored 27 points with five more 3-pointers, expanding his NBA record for 3-pointers in one month to 90 in April. He had passed James Harden’s 82 on Sunday in November 2019.

“Chasing Steph Curry around has to be the toughest job in all of basketball, professional, college, and international,” said Dallas coach Rick Carlisle. “The guy only had one tear in the last month. Trey Burke took up the challenge, he just chased him everywhere and we had a lot of help. “

Tim Hardaway Jr. added 13 points and seven rebounds from the bench as the Mavericks dragged 60 points from their reserves one night after losing 113-106 in Sacramento.

Just as the Warriors were determined to gain some momentum for the all-important stretch run, they delivered a dud and had broken their four-game home winning streak.

“It was the perfect storm of everything that went wrong tonight,” said Curry.

Golden State did not defend the perimeter, where the Mavericks shot 18 of 35 with 3 pointers.

The Warriors had no goals for 9 minutes and 40 seconds in the first and second quarters and were only 5 for 27 in the middle of the second quarter. That drought eventually resulted in a 47-16 hole.

“I’m not worried about the goal drought, I’m worried about defense, I’m worried about intensity, preparation and competitiveness,” said Kerr. “That was missing. I am the head coach. I obviously didn’t have them ready to play. “

Doncic shot 15 for 23, adding eight assists and six rebounds. Dallas has won seven out of nine against Golden State and four in a row in the Warriors’ home game.

The Mavericks made nine of their initial 15 shots to advance 25-12 and force a Golden State timeout at the 4:58 mark of the first.

“It was the complete opposite of yesterday. It was crazy, ”said Mavericks striker Maxi Kleber. “They couldn’t fire any shots. … I don’t even know how to describe it. We just went with the flow. “

JJ Redick played for the Mavericks for seven minutes after being questionable with pain in his right heel. Boban Marjanovic was thrown off the field with 2:39 minutes after a foul by Flagrant 2. He held his arms up in the air as he disappeared into the tunnel.

Mavericks: C Kristaps Porzingis (sprained left ankle), G Josh Richardson (right hamstring) and G Tyrell Terry (personal reasons) were eliminated. … Dallas has won six of the last seven with Golden State and shoots 45.3% (139 for 307) out of the 3-point range during this distance.

Warriors: F Eric Paschall did more 3v3 on Tuesday and is scheduled to play 5v5 on Wednesday before flying to Minneapolis. “We hope he can play by the end of the road trip – Houston or New Orleans,” said Kerr. … G Gary Payton II impressed Kerr: “We love Gary. He is an elite defensive player. He’s someone who can come in and make a difference, ”Kerr said. His second 10-day contract expires on Wednesday. … Golden State won four times in a row at home from February 15 to March. 14th

IMPACT FAN

The Warriors received Samba Guisse as their “Impact Warrior” for his daily leadership in the community. Guisse, a public works security guard at the Civic Center / UN Plaza, stopped an attack on a 76-year-old Chinese woman on busy Market Street in San Francisco last month.

At halftime, he was honored for his courage and everything he does on the job for others.

Guisse, 44 and originally from Senegal, insists that it should be taken for granted and that his family taught him these values.

“I just do it in my heart,” he said without expecting any fanfare. “Everyone should help everyone, no matter what race you are, you are white, black, Asian. I didn’t expect it to be like that. I’ve been in the job for a long time. I help people all the time. “
