Curry nets 60, but the Warriors fall to Hawks

Stephen Curry scored a season-high 60 points in the Warriors’ 141-134 overtime loss to the Hawks on Saturday night, with Trae Young scoring 35 points to help the Hawks outlast the Warriors.

Curry had eight points in overtime to finish only two points shy of his career high of 62 at home against the Blazers on Jan. 3, 2021. He was 22 of 38 shots from the field, hitting 10 of 23 3-pointers, and made all six of his free throws.

Curry scored 22 points in the fourth quarter, including a go-ahead jumper with 14 seconds remaining. Dejounte Murray answered with a jumper from the freethrow line to tie it. Curry missed a last-second jumper to send it to overtime.

The long-term status of 76ers center Joel Embiid remained up in the air on Saturday night as the defending NBA MVP and team officials continued to wait for potential options to deal with a meniscus injury suffered on Tuesday against the Warriors.

College basketball: Hunter Dickinson had 20 points to lead four Jayhawks in double figures as No. 8 Kansas beat No. 4 Houston 78-65 on Saturday.

NFL: Former Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, who had agreed to join the Raiders as their new offensive coordinator, isn’t going to Las Vegas. Kingsbury couldn’t reach a deal with the Raiders, so he told the team he’s pursuing other options.
