OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – The Golden State Warriors whipped perfect passes through the lane that led to pretty shots and plenty of high-flying dunks.

Once unselfish Golden State got it going on both ends, the Hawks had a hard time keeping up in a matchup of the NBA’s top two teams.

Harrison Barnes scored 25 points, Andre Iguodala added 21 points and six assists, and the Warriors cruised past Atlanta 114-95 on Wednesday night to maintain the league’s best record.

“We obviously wanted to beat them tonight because they gave us a whooping in Atlanta,” Stephen Curry said. “It was a fun night.”

Curry had 16 points and 12 assists, Draymond Green contributed 18 points and Andrew Bogut grabbed 14 rebounds as balanced Golden State maintained the best record in the league (54-13) with its 10th straight win at home.
