OAKLAND, Calif. -- Runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year in two straight seasons, Draymond Green desperately wants to prove how good Golden State can be on that end of the floor.Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson can have all the scoring glory. Green takes it personally when people question the Warriors D.Green blocked two shots in the final 43.4 seconds, Durant had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and the Warriors held off the Atlanta Hawks and their strong bench 105-100 on Monday night for a 12th straight victory that tied the third-longest streak in franchise history.I wouldnt necessarily say I have something to prove for that award, more so that people have kind of counted our defense out, said Green, back from missing one game with an ankle injury.Curry scored 25 points with four 3-pointers, and Thompson added 20 points as Golden States Big Three each reached 20 points for the second consecutive game.The Warriors won their seventh straight home game and fifth in a row against Atlanta at Oracle Arena.Durant knocked down a 3-pointer with 2:57 left in the third quarter that pulled Golden State to 76-73. Then, as the period wound down, he dribbled over midcourt and found Ian Clark for a long 3 to beat the buzzer and cut Atlantas advantage to 81-80.Durants jumper to start the fourth put the Warriors ahead, and Andre Iguodala followed with back-to-back baskets. Iguodala finished with 12 points, five rebounds and five assists.Dennis Schroder scored 24 points for the Hawks, and Tim Hardaway Jr. had 10 against his fathers former team. Dwight Howard added 14 points and 16 rebounds, while Paul Millsap had 14 points and 14 boards.We got to 100 and we havent seen that in a while, Millsap said. Its a good start. We played a tough team, a good team, so well build on the positives.Durant had a double-double in consecutive games for the second time this season and had his sixth performance with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.Nobody can guard him, thats pretty much it, said Iguodala, who spent years trying to stop KD.In the first half, the Warriors hardly looked like their usual efficient selves on either end and trailed at halftime for the fourth time and second at home. They committed 11 turnovers that led to 16 points for Atlanta, got burned on defense while giving up easy baskets and missed their own open looks in shooting just 45.2 percent.Green returned after missing Saturdays hard-fought win against Minnesota because of a bruised left ankle sustained in a collision a night earlier at the Lakers that left Clark with a throat injury. Clark also sat out Saturday.Green quickly made an impact in this one, forcing a turnover on Atlantas first possession and emphatically pointing to signal it was Golden States ball. He dished out seven assists and first made a big block against Schroder before stuffing Kent Bazemore to finish with four blocks.The Warriors had double-digit blocks for an NBA-best fourth time this season.That was amazing. I dont know if Ive ever seen a sequence like that from one guy, coach Steve Kerr said. Draymonds amazing. He literally can guard anybody in the league.KD BOBBLEHEADSome fans lined up in their cars at the Oracle gates at lunchtime for a chance to be among the first 10,000 to receive the first Durant bobblehead with the Warriors.At the gates where the coveted dolls waited, members of the event staff closely guarded the special souvenirs.TIP-INSHawks: Atlantas bench contributed 37 points. ...

South Africas Lizelle Lee took two outstanding catches in the deep with Cait OKeefe following suit with one of her own. Then, Knight, dived full length to her right to snap up a caught-and-bowled of the highest quality.With Knight leading the way, as expected, with the bat, the Storm withstood a concerted bowling effort from the Thunder to eventually reach their target in the 16th over.Having chosen to bat first, Thunder lost their opening wicket in the fourth over when Lee plucked a wonderful catch from the afternoon sky to bring about the downfall of 18-year-old Bajan Hayley Matthews. Thunder captain, Amy Satterthwaite, followed Matthews back to the pavilion in the ninth over when she was bowled by Jodie Dibble for 13.Emma Lamb and Deandra Dottin added 24 for the third wicket before the former became Stefanie Taylors first victim of the day - once again superbly caught by the acrobatic Lee - for 25.Thereafter, Storm turned the screw and with Taylor and Knight bowling well in tandem, Lancashire simply had no answer.dddddddddddd Deandra Dottin struck two boundaries before OKeefe took a running catch at long on at 65 for 4 and although the situation was far from desperate, the visitors were soon staring down the barrel of a below-par total.Both Knight and Taylor took wickets in successive balls in the 15th and 16th overs respectively as Lancashire capitulated in the closing overs. In the end they were bowled out for 83, in the 19th over, with Knight helping herself to 3 for 11 and Taylor weighing in with the figures of 4 for 14.Although the Storm lost Rachel Priest off the eighth ball of the innings, they chipped away at their target with real purpose. Taylor and Knight, once again, led the way with a second-wicket partnership of 35 before West Indies allrounder Taylor was well stumped by Satterthwaite off the bowling of Matthews for 14.Knight continued to accumulate runs, despite some decent bowling. She hit the occasional bad ball to the boundary and used all her experience to work the good balls for ones and twos.Lancashire did apply some genuine pressure when Dottin picked up the wickets of Fran Wilson and Lee in her first over, and Sophie Ecclestone bowled Knight for 23 at 65 for 5. It took a sixth-wicket partnership of 15, between Sophie Luff and Georgia Hennessy, to settle the nerves and help the hosts towards victory with 27 balls to spare. ' ' '
