Short-Handed Bucks Upend Warriors as Ex-Warrior Ryan Rollins Scores Career-High 32

Steve Kerr cited fatigue, with turnovers plus defensive lapses punctuated by Milwaukee’s eight double-figure scorers.

Overview

  • Milwaukee beat Golden State 120-110 in Milwaukee after Giannis Antetokounmpo was ruled out about an hour before tipoff with left-knee soreness.
  • Ryan Rollins, a 2022 Warriors draft pick later traded away, led the Bucks with 32 points on 13-for-21 shooting and eight assists, hitting 5 of 7 from three.
  • The Bucks showcased balance with eight players in double figures, while Stephen Curry (27), Jonathan Kuminga (24) and Jimmy Butler (23, 11 rebounds) paced Golden State.
  • Turnovers and spacing issues hurt the Warriors, with outlets listing their giveaways at 19 or as high as 22, a swing all agreed was costly.
  • Kerr and Draymond Green pointed to mental and physical fatigue and poor switching, as Golden State fell to 4-2 ahead of a road-heavy stretch.
