With scores from Stephen Curry, De'Anthony Melton, and Jimmy Butler, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 120-113 in another key game of the 2025/26 NBA regular season. Head coach Steve Kerr, in an interview, specifically praised the positive impact of the bench players on defense.
According to the data, Stephen Curry scored 31 points and 7 assists in this game, De'Anthony Melton scored 22 points, and Jimmy Butler contributed 21 points and 3 assists for the Golden State Warriors.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said, "Al Horford has been playing exceptionally well, and we can now gradually increase his playing time."
"The substitutes did a great job, especially on the defensive end. They were outstanding. De'Anthony Melton is a very good player and provides a great option for our bench."
When discussing shooting efficiency, Steve Kerr said, "Sometimes the ball goes in, sometimes it doesn't, but we created a lot of good opportunities in this game. When Draymond Green and Stephen Curry can make simple and correct decisions, they can create a lot of offensive opportunities for the team. And Moses Moody, he stays the same every day and doesn't have big emotional ups and downs."
Furthermore, the Golden State Warriors will be playing their next seven regular-season games at home, so their victory over the Milwaukee Bucks will boost the players' confidence.
Steve Kerr said, "This is very important, and we hope to make good use of this stretch of the season to continue our push. We can feel ourselves becoming more consistent, and the team is ready."
