Giannis loses, Ryan Rollins steals the show from Stephen Curry!

That’s a Jonathan Cumminga (24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists) always so energetic which allows the Warriors to get off to the best start. The Bucks, though without Giannis Antetokounmpo, responded immediately. Their defense slows down Golden State as a former Warrior, Ryan RollinsMyles Turner (17 points, 7 rebounds) and Cole Anthony (16 points) coming off the bench caught fire and put the Bucks on +9 at the end of the first quarter (34-25).

Delay in ignition for the Warriors

If Brandin Podziemski tries to revive the Dubs, it’s eight points in a row from Bobby Portis, who pushes the deficit over ten points for the first time in the match (49-37). At the Fiserv Forum in the sky, the trio of Stephen Curry (27 points, 6 rebounds, 6 turnovers) – Jimmy Butler (23 points, 11 rebounds) – Jonathan Cumminga spoils the atmosphere. The trio starts a sharp 17-5, which brings these two teams back in line (54-54). It was Ryan Rollins’ layup in the final seconds of the half that put the Bucks ahead at halftime (60-58).

Steve Kerr’s men continue their momentum, and the increasingly rhythmic Stephen Curry gives the Warriors a four-point lead at 2+1 (79-75). Californians, however, are missing the boat. Instead of hitting the nail on the head, they suffered a 12-0 run by Bobby Portis and Cole Anthony (87-79).

Rian Rollins decisive

Buddy Hield and Jonathan Cumminga pull the Warriors back to -1 a few times, but the Bucks won’t let them regain the lead. After the Ryan Rollins – AJ Green duo, at 5/7 on three points, Milwaukee adds 11-2 to Golden State and definitely puts them on the mat (117-106)! This is the Bucks’ fourth win in five games, and Giannis can boast about his group.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– The best match of Ryan Rollins’ career. Ryan Rollins’ NBA debut took place in Golden State. The leader played a bit there before being inserted into the trade of Jordan Poole to Washington in exchange for Chris Paul. Cut by the Wizards in January 2024, Rollins signed a two-way contract with the Bucks a month later. He benefited from Damian Lillard’s absence last season to find playing time, and he started this season. As a symbol, it was against the Warriors that night that he achieved the best performance of his career, finishing the match with 32 points on 13/21 shooting, 5/7 three-pointers and 8 assists. Better than Stephen Curry, his direct opponent! At the beginning of the season, Rollins positions himself as a candidate for the best promotion trophy.

– Golden State let its guard down. Did the Warriors think they were too good when they learned of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence? We’ll never know, but Steve Kerr scathingly recalled after the match that his team had 0 wins and 12 losses in the last three seasons when opposing stars were not playing. Attractive against the Clippers, the Dubs did not exist on the carrier last night and had a series of turnovers (22) on the traps of the Milwaukee defense. On Saturday, they will have to show a different face to Indiana.

– Bucks are cautious with Giannis Antetokounmpo. While Doc Rivers expected his leader to play tonight, the Greek ended up having to pull out due to soreness in his left knee. However, nothing alarming and after an impressive first week, Antetokounmpo and the Bucks made the right choice by resting him.
