With a season-high 38 points, Klay Thompson led the Golden State Warriors to a home win over defending champions Milwaukee Bucks.
After a two-year injury break, Thompson only had to return to the league a few weeks ago NBA Done. Now he’s helping end the Bucks’ six-game win streak. At 122:109, Thompson was by far the most successful Warriors professional – also because Steph Curry only had seven throw attempts and stayed at eight points. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points for the Bucks.
The Bucks’ deficit to the Miami Heat at the top of the Eastern Conference remained unchanged despite the loss because the Florida team also lost. There was a 104:113 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were fighting for the playoff spots. The Chicago Bulls made up some ground with a 101-91 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
