Milwaukee came out strong and led by as much as six points in the first quarter before settling for a 30-28 edge at the end of the period. The Warriors’ bench quickly turned the tables in the second quarter as Toney Douglas knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers during a 10-0 surge to begin the frame.
Golden State pushed the lead to double figures before a late charge cut it to 50-48 at the break. The Warriors have put together some strong second halves during their winning streak and it was no different against the Bucks as Curry and Andre Iguodala highlighted a 23-7 run to begin the third quarter with deep 3-pointers.
Golden State pushed the lead out to 20 points and Curry provided the signature play of the third quarter when he drove the lane and flipped in a transition layup with 2:42 left in the period. Milwaukee again closed strong to make it 79-68 heading to the fourth, and Mayo’s 3-pointer with 9:22 left chopped it to 79-71.
The Warriors scored the next eight points and put the game away when Thompson and Iguodala bookended an 8-0 burst with 3-pointers to make it 95-75. The Bucks ended up shooting 38.8 percent as their NBA-worst record fell to 7-27.
