The Golden State Warriors rebounded swiftly after their devastating loss to the Boston Celtics, demonstrating resilience in their victory against the Milwaukee Bucks.
In a remarkable turnaround, they held the Bucks to just nine points in the fourth quarter, sealing a commanding 125-90 win.
Notably, the Warriors achieved a historic feat, becoming the first team in NBA history to respond to a 50-point defeat with a 30-point victory in their subsequent game.
Stephen Curry led the charge with 29 points, supported by Jonathan Kuminga’s 20-point contribution in the resounding victory.
Curry’s standout performance was particularly impressive following his recent struggles, notably a dismal game against the Celtics where he failed to score, missing all nine of his three-point attempts.
Damian Lillard managed 20 points in a matchup against another All-NBA point guard. Meanwhile, Bucks coach Doc Rivers faced criticism after his team’s disappointing performance.
Despite arriving with a six-game winning streak, the Bucks faltered, dropping to a 16-15 road record for the season. Rivers appeared to attribute his team’s performance to the Warriors having more rest, a sentiment that drew attention in post-game discussions.
