Warriors shake off blowout loss, swat aside Bucks

Stephen Curry led a balanced scoring attack with 29 points and the Golden State Warriors rebounded from a humiliating loss in Boston with a 125-90 romp over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night in San Francisco.

Golden State rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis squashed a Milwaukee rally with two blocks on Giannis Antetokounmpo in a five-second highlight reel.

Jonathan Kuminga chipped in with 20 points and Jackson-Davis 15 to complement four blocks for the Warriors, who were last seen getting swamped 140-88 by the Celtics on Sunday.

Three days later, Golden State put up 78 points in the first half alone while building as much as a 22-point lead. The Warriors subsequently survived a bit of a scare when the Bucks, seeking a seventh straight win, got within 83-77 just past the midpoint of the third period.

Jackson-Davis initially stalled the uprising with a layup, and then after Curry made one free throw, rejected Antetokounmpo twice from point-blank range.

Chris Paul gathered the second block and fed Curry, who in turn found Jackson-Davis for an alley-oop dunk that electrified the crowd and sent the Warriors on their way to a 12th win in their past 15 games.

Golden State retained an 11-point advantage at period's end, then got hoops from four different players — including a 3-pointer by Brandin Podziemski — to go up 102-81 in the third minute of the final period.

Curry did a majority of his scoring on 6-for-10 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc. Kuminga, Paul, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green each added a pair of treys, helping the Warriors run up a 57-33 advantage from deep. Golden State made half its 38 3-point attempts.

Green finished with 12 points to go with six rebounds and six assists, while Thompson added 10 points off the bench. Curry found time to be the game's leading rebounder with eight, while Paul had a game-high nine assists to complement six points and three steals.

Returning to action after missing a Monday home win over the Los Angeles Clippers with Achilles soreness, Antetokounmpo paced the Bucks with 23 points. He also led the team in rebounds with seven and tied Damian Lillard as the club's top assist man with six.

Lillard and Bobby Portis finished with 20 points apiece for Milwaukee, which shot just 38.2 percent and was outrebounded 50-36.
