The Golden State Warriors are finding their rhythm on the road, and their latest victory against the Milwaukee Bucks is proof that they’re heating up at just the right time. After securing a win over the Chicago Bulls in Jimmy Butler’s debut on Saturday, the Warriors kept the momentum rolling as they took on the Bucks, aiming for back-to-back wins away from home.
This wasn’t just any ordinary game—it was a showdown between two of the league’s most electrifying guards. Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, Milwaukee wasn’t going down without a fight. Damian Lillard stepped up, going toe-to-toe with none other than Stephen Curry in a thrilling duel that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Curry and Lillard matched each other shot for shot, each dropping 38 points to lead their respective teams. For Curry, it was a continuation of his hot streak—he not only tied his season-high with 38 points but also extended his run of 32 or more points to four straight games. The sharpshooter was locked in, hitting 12-of-24 from the field, including six three-pointers, while also contributing six rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes.
But it wasn’t just Curry who made an impact. The Warriors’ supporting cast came through in a big way. Jimmy Butler, Buddy Hield, Moses Moody, and Quinten Post all stepped up, scoring in double figures to help secure the 125-111 victory over Milwaukee on Monday evening.
Butler, in just his second game with Golden State, continued to prove why he’s such a valuable addition to the squad. He finished with 20 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and four steals in 31 minutes. More importantly, he showed his ability to get to the free-throw line, knocking down 12 of his 15 attempts—a skill that has always made him a nightmare for opposing defenses.
Heading into the fourth quarter, this game was still up for grabs. The Warriors were holding onto a narrow six-point lead, and with Lillard capable of flipping the script at any moment, the pressure was on. That’s when Curry and Post took over. The duo combined for 22 points in the final frame, with Post drilling three clutch three-pointers to help Golden State put the game away for good.
It was a statement win for the Warriors, who now have two more road games ahead before the All-Star break. Next up, they’ll be heading to Dallas for a highly anticipated matchup against Klay Thompson and the revamped Mavericks. With momentum on their side, the Warriors are looking to keep the wins rolling as they gear up for the second half of the season.
If this road trip has shown anything, it’s that Golden State is finding its groove. With Curry playing at an elite level, Butler integrating seamlessly, and the supporting cast stepping up, the Warriors are proving they’re still a force to be reckoned with. Buckle up, because this season is far from over, and the Dubs are just getting started!
