Draymond Green sank an off-balance trey shot as the clock expired with just 40.2 ticks to go in the overtime period to pave the way for the Warriors' victory.

The Warrior's 2012 35th overall draft pick made an all-around game for the team as he finished the game with 15 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 1 blocked shot in a game-high 42.28 minutes of playing time.

The other half of the Dub's Splash Brothers Klay Thompson led the Golden State with a game-high 26 points while shooting just 8-27 from the field and hitting 6 for 16 from beyond the arc. He sealed the victory with a step back jumper shot that gave the Warriors a 109-105 lead with just 11.4 left to play on the clock.

With the win, the Warriors have stretched their winning streak to six and have won nine of their last ten games played. They have extended their home game winnings to 25-0 this season and can tie the Chicago Bulls' 44-game unbeaten record at home from March 30, 1995 to April 4, 1996, when they play the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.

"It was a great trip especially to rebound after that blowout in Portland," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said."Now we're really in the home stretch with 17 of our last 24 at home. The trip set us up to go for that 1 seed in the West, which is our goal."

Andrew Bogut had 19 points while Harrison Barnes chipped in 12 points and Leandro Barbosa added 11 points for the Warriors, who have won 5-0 overtime games this season.

Paul Millsap led Atlanta with 19 points, while Al Horford and Dennis Schroder had 17 points each.
