Warriors' Top Offense Clashes with Hawks' Surging Attack

Game Preview

The Golden State Warriors will look to bounce back from a tough loss as they host the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. The Warriors have been on a torrid pace this season, owning the league's best record at 10-2 and averaging a blistering 119.6 points per game. However, their high-powered offense was held in check in their last outing, snapping a four-game winning streak.

Golden State's success has been fueled by an efficient attack, shooting just under 47 percent from the field and nearly 39 percent from three-point range. They've been particularly lethal over their previous 10 games, hovering around 47 percent shooting while pouring in 118.4 points per contest. The Warriors will look to rediscover that prolific scoring touch against the Hawks after a relative cold spell over their last five, averaging 117.2 points on 46.9 percent shooting.

On the other end, the Warriors have been stifling on defense, holding opponents to just over 107 points per game this season. Their rebounding and ball protection have been keys to their early success, grabbing nearly 49 boards while committing just 14 turnovers per night. However, they'll be tested by an Atlanta squad that has found its rhythm offensively, averaging 115.6 points over their last five games while dishing out 31.6 assists per contest.

The Hawks come in playing their best basketball of the young season, having won three of their last five to pull to 7-8 on the year. They've been plagued by inconsistency, though, alternating wins and losses over their previous 10 games to sit at an even 5-5 record over that stretch. Atlanta will need to find a way to slow down Golden State's high-octane attack if they hope to pull the upset on the road.
