Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors

The Milwaukee Bucks got another shot at the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. After losing 125-111 to the Dubs at home in early February, the Bucks hoped to get their revenge in San Francisco. The visitors could take advantage of the absence of Steph Curry, who Warriors coach Steve Kerr decided to hold out for rest.

Golden State raced to a 15-3 lead behind its superb shooting from deep. Milwaukee tightened its defense and leaned on a balanced attack to cut the deficit to 32-27 at the end of the first quarter.

The Warriors took control of the game by clamping down on defense in the second quarter. They held Milwaukee to 17 points while scoring 26 to take a 58-44 halftime lead. Quinten Post and Brandin Podziemski combined for 22 points, five rebounds and two assists in the first half to lead the home team.

The Bucks turned the game around by dropping a 25-9 run in the first nine minutes of the third quarter. Kyle Kuzma and Brook Lopez led the offense while the defense forced seven turnovers. Milwaukee shot 6-for-9 from deep during the decisive stretch.

The Dubs ended the period with 10 errors, a key reason Milwaukee inched within 78-76 heading into the fourth quarter. Jimmy Butler coaxed a foul out of AJ Green and made three free throws to keep the home team in the driver’s seat.

The Golden State Warriors opened the fourth quarter with an 8-0 blast to regain control of the game. Jimmy Butler carried the offense while the home team's defense held the Milwaukee Bucks to 17 fourth-quarter points. Brandin Podziemski nailed back-to-back crucial 3-pointers to push the Dubs to a 104-93 win.
