And to say that Kevin Durant and Draymond Green did not play ... Golden State does not even need all its strengths to crush the competition. Even without two of his leaders - the first touched ankle and the second left to rest - the Warriors posted a real correction in Chicago (143-94), on the night of Friday to Saturday. What to revive after their setback in Oklahoma (108-91), Wednesday night.
Without his partners, Stephen Curry has taken center stage. The leader of Golden State has offered 33 points (plus 7 rebounds and 4 assists), the best total of the game, including 26 in the second quarter. It's more than the Bulls over the same period (21)! During those 12 minutes, the Warriors machine went into motion. Until then, Chicago led the game, with a +3 advantage after the first quarter, before collapsing.
The return of the double MVP, which went on the bench after two personal fouls in five minutes at the start of the match, coincided with Golden State's orbiting. Klay Thompson assisted him in the third quarter (15 of his 29 points) before the substitutes finished the job. The Warriors, second in the West, inflict the Bulls (15th in the East) the third worst defeat in their history.
