There are comeback wins, and then there’s what the Warriors did Wednesday night at Chase Center.
Three days after an embarrassing 52-point loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, the Warriors bounced back with an impressive 35-point victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
According to Sportradar, the 125-90 win is the largest by an NBA team immediately following a loss of at least 50 points.
The Warriors, with a completely healthy roster for the first time in three months, entered halftime with a 20-point lead over the Bucks and, despite Milwaukee making a third-quarter effort, Golden State put up enough resistance, sealing the victory with a dominant 32-9 in the last quarter.
Steph Curry led the game with 29 points, while Jonathan Kuminga added 20 points in the win. Rookie forward Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 15 points off the bench and scored plus-20 in 19 electric minutes off the bench.
The win brings the Warriors to 33-28 and puts them back in 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 face the Chicago Bulls on Thursday at Chase Center.
Golden State has a chance to rack up wins with their next three games against the Bulls and then back-to-back games against the San Antonio Spurs. If the Warriors can sweep the trio of games, the loss to the Celtics will be a blip on the radar as they move up the Western Conference standings.
