Thanks to a huge third quarter and the great ability of the Splash Brothers, Golden State bounced back after two embarrassing losses at home to Toronto and New Orleans. As Thompson broke the 2018 three-point record, Curry scored 15 in the final quarter on his way to 27 points (6-for-15 from three) and nine assists on the court where he broke the three-point record. In addition to 24 points on 75% of the field from the bench, Jonathan Cominga recovered with 17 and 8 rebounds. Steve Kerr’s team handed out 39 assists and lost only five balls.
While DeMar DeRozan scored 39 points (15 of 21 from the field), it wasn’t enough for the Bulls, who lost after three wins, even though they shot 58.1%. During the first half, Kobe White scored 21 points, including a Curry-style 3-pointer before the break that made it 62:75, but the Warriors exploded in the third quarter at 20:48. With four minutes left, DeRozan and White tied it at 128:124, then Klay fired back with a 3-pointer and Curry closed the game. Golden State’s stars scored all 21 points. Zach Lavin surrendered for the first time since his return on 7/8/25.
