OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Jamal Crawford scored six points in an eight-point, fourth-quarter run Friday night that brought the Golden State Warriors a 119-114 win over Atlanta.

The Warriors won for just the second time in eight games.

Atlanta came back from an eight-point deficit early in the fourth quarter to take a 106-102 lead on Ronald Murray's layup with 3:27 to play. Golden State then ran off eight points in a row and Atlanta came no closer than three the rest of the way.

Crawford scored 29 points to lead Golden State, which made 50 percent of its shots from the field and 9-of-17 from three-point range. Corey Maggette and Stephen Jackson added 24 each.

Atlanta got 25 points from Joe Jackson.
