Andrew Bogut's Golden State Warriors continued their NBA hot streak with a last-second win over Atlanta.
Andre Iguodala drained a three-pointer on the buzzer to give the Warriors a 101-100 victory, extending their winning streak to eight games in Atlanta on Friday.
David Lee scored 23 points, with Stephen Curry adding 22 points with nine assists while Klay Thompson chipped in with 21 points for Golden State, who recovered from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter to extend their road winning streak to five.
Australian centre Bogut had nine rebounds and six points.
Iguodala was inbounding the ball with 2.8 seconds left near the Hawks' bench and had Atlanta centre Pero Antic defending him when he passed the ball to Curry near the half-court line.
Shelvin Mack was guarding Curry closely enough that Iguodala moved a few feet inside and was open when Antic moved up to help Mack close space on Curry. Iguodala took Curry's bounce pass, squared up and hit the game-winner as Jeff Teague made a frantic attempt to disrupt the shot.
"I was a decoy at first and then it became my play once we didn't have our first option," Curry said.
"Once I got the ball in my hands, they jumped off (Iguodala) and he jumped in. A clutch, clutch, clutch shot by him."
