The Milwaukee Bucks and the Golden State Warriors will face off at the Chase Center in a battle of heavyweights on Saturday, Mar. 12. In the only game between the two teams this season, the Bucks emerged victorious. Giannis Antetokounmpo secured a 30 point triple-double to help the Bucks to a 118-99 win.
The defending champions have been in stellar form lately. They cruised to another impressive win on Wednesday, extending their winning streak to six games. Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his stellar run, scoring 43 points to lead the Bucks to a 124-115 win against the Atlanta Hawks. Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis added 23 points apiece.
The Golden State Warriors, meanwhile, got an impressive 113-102 win over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. Despite trailing by nine points going into half-time, the Dubs were back in the game, thanks to the brilliance of Steph Curry. The 33-year-old scored 34 points on 52.4 % shooting.
Denver tried to double team Curry, but the ploy didn't work. Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson were also in great offensive flow, and their efforts were also vital for the Warriors to get to a win. The Warriors' performance in the fourth quarter was impressive as they walked out of the Ball Arena with a win.
