OAKLAND, Calif. — Andre Iguodala scored two hoops in an eight-point run to start the fourth quarter Monday night as the Golden State Warriors rallied from a deficit to turn back the Atlanta Hawks 105-100 for their 12th straight win.
The Hawks, who lost to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night, took an 81-80 lead into the final period, but they never led again after Kevin Durant hit a jumper on Golden State’s first possession of the decisive quarter.
Durant and Stephen Curry scored 25 points apiece for the Warriors, who beat Atlanta for the fourth straight time. Klay Thompson added 20 points.
Dennis Schroder registered 24 points and six assists for the Hawks, who lost for the sixth time in seven games since a 9-2 start. Atlanta’s Dwight Howard (14 points, game-high 16 rebounds) and Paul Millsap (14 points, 14 rebounds) recorded double-doubles.

Washington let an eight-point margin with 5:12 remaining in regulation slip away, but scored the opening seven points of the extra session.
