Milwaukee Bucks faced off against the Golden State Warriors in a highly anticipated matchup that ended in a dominant victory for the Bucks with a final score of 125-90. The game showcased the Bucks' impressive offensive prowess and defensive tenacity, as they outplayed the Warriors in every aspect of the game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the charge for the Bucks with a stellar performance, scoring 30 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Khris Middleton also had a standout game, contributing 25 points and 8 assists. The Warriors struggled to keep up with the Bucks' relentless attack, as their defense faltered under pressure.

The Warriors are coming off a huge road 140-88 loss against the Boston Celtics, which extended their win streak to 11. Steph Curry had his fewest points of the season, scoring only four points in 17 minutes of play before departing and not reentering the game. Lester Quinones led the Warriors with 17 points, followed by Moses Moody with 11 points against the Celtics.
It is important to note that Middleton only needs to play for a second in each of those games – the 20-minute threshold instituted by the NBA for a game to count toward regular season awards does not apply to contract bonuses. Fans may remember former Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday playing eight seconds against Cleveland in 2022 to trigger a bonus.
Whether Middleton earns his bonus will also not affect whether the Bucks are over the second “tax apron,” as they are over it anyway. It will only affect the Bucks’ 2023-24 luxury tax payment and his cap hit for 2024-25.
Steve Kerr will continue to jumble his rotations the rest of the way. He has had to do that in the past, but because of injuries and lack of production. He’ll be doing it now because he finally has a full healthy roster and has plenty of options.
