ATLANTA (AP) — Stephen Curry scored 36 points and the Golden State Warriors became the fastest team in NBA history to 50 wins, beating the Atlanta Hawks 102-92 Monday night after squandering a 23-point lead.

The Warriors (50-5) eclipsed the mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who needed one more game to win their 50th. Of course, that’s the team Golden State is chasing, moving another step closer to the record 72- 10 mark put up by Michael Jordan & Co. at the height of their six-titles-in-eight-years dynasty.

Atlanta closed the third quarter on a 28-6 run and grabbed the lead briefly early in the fourth, igniting the sellout crowd. But the Warriors would not be denied, bouncing back to hand the Hawks their fourth straight home loss.

Klay Thompson added 27 points for the Warriors. Both he and Curry knocked down five shots from 3-point range. Draymond Green had 14 rebounds and nine assists.

Pistons 96, Cavaliers 88

CLEVELAND (AP) — Reggie Jackson scored 23 points, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 19 and Detroit withstood Cleveland’s late comeback to snap a five-game losing streak.

One day after allowing New Orleans center Anthony Davis to score 59 points with 20 rebounds, the Pistons beat the Eastern Conference’s top team for the second time this season.

Andre Drummond added 15 rebounds for the Pistons, who let an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter dwindle to six before putting away the Cavs and ending their five-game winning streak.

Heat 101, Pacers 93, OT

MIAMI (AP) — Goran Dragic scored 24 points, Hassan Whiteside finished with 19 points and 18 rebounds, and Miami won its third consecutive game since the All-Star break, rallying from 14 points down to beat Indiana in overtime.

Dwyane Wade added 16 points and Justise Winslow scored 15 for Miami, which won despite shooting only 38 percent. The Heat grabbed 66 rebounds for the second consecutive game after reaching that mark only three times in their first 28 seasons.

Raptors 122, Knicks 95

NEW YORK (AP) — Kyle Lowry had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his first triple-double of the season, DeMar DeRozan also scored 22 while becoming the winningest player in Raptors history, and Toronto beat New York.

Jonas Valanciunas added 20 points for the Raptors, who won so easily that Knicks interim coach Kurt Rambis changed his mind in the final minutes of the blowout and inserted Jimmer Fredette.

Just signed to a 10-day contract, the former college player of the year made a 3- pointer on his lone shot attempt — about the only thing Knicks fans had to cheer during the team’s 12th loss in 14 games.

Bucks 108, Lakers 101

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Milwaukee beat Los Angeles in retiring star Kobe Bryant’s last trip to the Bradley Center.

Bryant had 15 points in 24 minutes, shooting 3 of 12 from the field and 8 for 9 at the foul line. He was feted with a pregame video tribute by Bucks coach Jason Kidd, who faced the 37-year-old Bryant numerous times during his playing days.

Kidd’s young players set the pace and outscored the Lakers 36-17 in the third quarter. All five Bucks starters scored in double figures.

Clippers 124, Suns 84

LOS ANGELES (AP) — J.J. Redick scored 22 points and Los Angeles handed Phoenix its 12th consecutive loss overall and 15th in a row on the road.

DeAndre Jordan added 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Chris Paul had 16 points and 14 assists for the Clippers, who split their previous two games against the West’s top two teams, the Warriors and Spurs. Los Angeles had its way with the conference’s second-worst team, earning its most lopsided win of the season while improving to 20-6 without injured Blake Griffin.
