NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from the Warriors' win over the Hawks

#2 Durant and Thompson's efficient performances

Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant were both efficient from the field

Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson were on fire last night and combined for 55 points on very efficient 20-for-32 shooting to shoot down the Atlanta Hawks. Thompson was +24 in the game and Durant was a ridiculous +31 on the night.

Thompson, who had an off-night shooting against the Pistons, going for 1-for-5 from long range, was back to his original form and went 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. He had 27 points to go along with 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

Durant is having a great season and exploded for three straight 40+ point games in the absence of Stephen Curry. After tallying 28 points against the Pistons, the 2014 MVP scored 28 points and went 9-for-19. He was really efficient from the free-throw line and went a perfect 9-for-9. With Curry back in the starting lineup, Durant can go the bench without worrying about the Warriors' blowing the lead.
