After losing two straight games, the Golden State Warriors were in desperate need of a team effort to secure a win.
On Thursday, they delivered just that, with a well-rounded performance against the Chicago Bulls, winning 131-106. Stephen Curry led the team in scoring, contributing to a balanced offensive attack.
The crowd at Chase Center was ready for a strong victory, especially after the Warriors were beaten badly by the Boston Celtics 125-85 in their last home game
With the Bulls, who are on the edge of making the playoffs, visiting, the Warriors had a great chance to get back on track.
On January 23, 2025, in San Francisco, Curry led the way with 21 points, shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range.
His shooting helped create space for his teammates to perform. One of those teammates, Quinten Poast, the Warriors’ 2024 second-round pick, had a career-high 20 points, making 7 of 12 shots from the field and 5 of 10 from beyond the arc.
Stephen Curry (NBA)Bulls player Zach LaVine finished with a game-high 24 points, shooting 50 percent from three-point range.
With this win, the Warriors ended their two-game losing streak, but they are still close to falling out of playoff contention. Currently, they’re only one loss away from slipping into the NBA Play-In Tournament.
Despite their recent struggles, the Warriors still have a good chance to make the playoffs, thanks to the competitive nature of the league and Curry’s leadership.
The Warriors will face the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday for a key game during the NBA’s “Rivals Week.” This game is important for both teams as they fight for playoff spots.
