Stephen Curry made seven 3-pointers and finished with 32 points as Golden State overwhelmed undermanned Miami 104-89 for their eighth straight NBA victory on Wednesday.

With a strained left hamstring sidelining Heat star Dwyane Wade, the NBA-leading Warriors (31-5) mowed down Miami the way they have most opponents recently. Golden State have won by an average of 19.8 points during its current streak.

Chris Bosh had 26 points and seven rebounds but couldn't carry the Heat alone. Luol Deng added 19 points, and Hassan Whiteside had 10 points and 12 rebounds for Miami.

DeMarre Carroll and Jeff Teague each scored 22 points to help the Atlanta Hawks win their 10th straight game, 105-91 over the Boston Celtics.

Paul Millsap added 18 points and 10 rebounds for Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta, who are 31-8 overall and 15-5 on the road.

The Hawks have their first double-digit winning streak since winning 11 in a row early in the 1997-98 season. They also have won 10 straight on the road, the longest streak in club history.

Manu Ginobili had 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting and San Antonio beat Charlotte 98-93 to snap the Hornets' winning streak at five games.

Danny Green scored 18 points, Tim Duncan added 14 points and 10 rebounds and Australian Patty Mills chipped in with five points to help the defending champion Spurs beat the Hornets for the eighth straight time.

Paul Pierce had 22 points and Washington beat Chicago 105-99, despite Derrick Rose's season-high 32 points for the Bulls.

John Wall scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter. Bradley Beal added 17, and the Wizards knocked off the Central division leaders for the second time in six days.
