The Golden State Warriors got back in the win column on Wednesday night, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 120-113 in a game that was more convincing than the score would suggest. It was also the first of eight consecutive home games for the Dubs, so hopefully it’s the start of a strong stretch of basketball.
I always enjoy seeing how fans reacted to the action as it unfolded, in wins and in losses. So here’s a look at the live reactions from Dub Nation, as seen from the lens of the Golden State of Mindgame thread comment section.
First quarter: ‘Let’s get this win!’
It was a high-octane first quarter as Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo went to battle. Both teams scored easily, and it was tied 31-31 after the first 12 minutes.
Second quarter: ‘In complete control’
The second quarter went very well, and was capped by an 11-0 run late in the frame. Golden State took a 64-53 lead to the locker rooms.
Third quarter: ‘A healthy lead’
After a slow start, the Warriors dominated the third quarter. Curry scored 16 points in the frame, and the Warriors held a 98-82 lead entering the final quarter.
Fourth quarter: ‘Draymond doing it all’
While the Bucks had some fight in the fourth quarter, it never got too close. Draymond Green drained a pair of threes to give the Dubs a 15-point lead around halfway through, and Curry hit a dagger with 30 seconds remaining.
