Stephen Curry scored 36 points with 22 of those in the fourth quarter and overtime as he led the Warriors past the NBA-best Bucks 125-116.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Stephen Curry knocked down all the dazzling shots everybody has come to expect from him in crunch time night after night — and then a surprising block at the rim that mattered just as much or maybe even more.
Holiday had put Milwaukee up on a 3 with 32.7 seconds to play and wound up with 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. But the Bucks , playing without star Giannis Antetokounmpo, had their three-game winning streak snapped with just their second defeat in 21 games since Jan. 21. "Overtime and fourth quarter, he got away from us a little bit," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said of Curry."Some of them were high level."
Bucks leading scorer and rebounder Antetokounmpo missed his second straight game with right hand soreness and third overall after sitting out March 7 with a non-COVID illness. Green finished with five points, 13 rebounds and nine assists and Golden State shot better from beyond the arc than it did inside .
