If at first you don’t succeed, try again. These are words to live by for Kevon Looney, as the Golden State Warriors big man got to play the role of double overtime savior against a feisty Atlanta Hawks squad. When Klay Thompson — who scored 54 points in the game — had a rare misfire, this game seemed destined for a third extra frame until Looney positioned himself for the putback try. Looney’s first attempt is off the mark, but he stays with the ball and gets another opportunity, this time laying it in as time expires. Looney’s 14 points, 20 rebounds and four assists were a major catalyst in Golden State’s 143-141 triumph on January 2, 2023. · Jan 3, 2023
