Stephen Curry scored an NBA season-high 50 points with nine 3-pointers, 10 assists and seven rebounds, almost single-handedly leading the Golden State Warriors past the Atlanta Hawks 127-113 on Monday night. 

Only Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry had registered a game with 50 points and 10 assists in Warriors franchise history. 

Curry scored Golden State's first 13 points, then 10 straight down the stretch in the third before dishing off for Juan Toscano-Anderson's 3-pointer that made it 102-85 following the Warriors' spectacular, 41-point quarter. 

Atlanta led by as many as 15 points in the second quarter before getting steamrolled by the NBA's winningest team in the second half. 

Curry, who had been held to 20 or fewer points in four consecutive games, finished 14-for-28 from the field, 9-for-19 on 3-point attempts and 13-for-13 at the foul line. He also found time for 10 assists, giving him the first double-double in a 50-point game of his career. 

Trae Young scored 28 points and John Collins added 19 for the Hawks, who lost their fourth game in a row.

Davis, Anthony lead Lakers in OT to defeat Hornets

Anthony Davis scored 32 points, had his first triple-double with the Lakers and had a season-high 29 points off the bench as Los Angeles defeated the Charlotte Hornets 126-123 in overtime.

Carmelo Anthony had 29 points off the bench and Russell Westbrook amassed a triple-double with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists as the Lakers won for the first time in three tries since star LeBron James was lost for at least a week with an abdominal strain. 

Terry Rozier scored 29 points for the Hornets and LaMelo Ball had his second career triple-double with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists. Charlotte overcame a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime.
