There are bounce-back wins and then there’s what the Warriors did Wednesday night at Chase Center.
Three days after a embarrassing 52 point loss against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, the Warriors bounced back with an impressive 35-point victory against the Milwaukee Bucks.
According to Sportradar, the 125-90 victory was the largest by an NBA team immediately following a loss of at least 50 points.
The Warriors, with a fully healthy roster for the first time in three months, took a 20-point halftime lead over the Bucks, and despite Milwaukee’s push in the third quarter, Golden State put up enough resistance , sealing the victory with a dominating 32-9 in the fourth quarter.
Steph Curry led the way with 29 points, while Jonathan Kuminga added 20 points in the victory. Rookie center Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 15 points off the bench and was plus-20 in 19 electric minutes off the bench.
The win puts the Warriors 33-28 and drops them into ninth place in the Western Conference, ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers, who lost to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
The Warriors will have a chance to build on their big win when they take on the Chicago Bulls on Thursday at Chase Center.
Golden State has a chance to pile up wins with its next three games against the Bulls and then back-to-back games against the San Antonio Spurs. If the Warriors can sweep the trio in a matchup, the loss to the Celtics will be just a blip on the radar as they move up the Western Conference standings.
