San Antonio rode a 41-30 fourth quarter to complete a comeback against New York. Justin Champagnie scored a career-high 36 points while knocking down a franchise record 11 three-pointers.<\/p>\n<p>-The Warriors grab a road win against the Hornets. Golden State rode a 34-25 fourth quarter to snatch its fifth win over its last six outings. Stephen Curry scored 26 points in his hometown while Draymond Green tallied 10 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists.<\/p>\n<p>-The Hawks snap a seven-game slide with a dominant win over the Timberwolves. Atlanta had one of its best all-around performances of the season, recording 38 assists while committing just eight turnovers. Minnesota had 22 assists while committing 14 turnovers.<\/p>\n<p>-Narrow finishes in Toronto and Milwaukee. Denver grabbed a narrow road win in Toronto while Washington snatched a victory in Milwaukee. The Wizards got a game-winning shot from CJ McCollum in that victory, while an overturned replay ruined the Raptors\u2019 night when a potentially game-tying field goal at the buzzer was reversed due to the ball being on Brandon Ingram\u2019s fingertips.
