Warriors Secure Big Win Over Bucks Despite Curry's Absence
The Golden State Warriors pulled off an impressive victory against the Milwaukee Bucks, even without their superstar Stephen Curry. It was a game that showcased the depth and resilience of this Warriors squad, with Jimmy Butler stepping up in a major way. Butler delivered a near triple-double performance, finishing with 24 points, eight rebounds, and 10 assists. His leadership and playmaking were instrumental in Golden State’s 104-93 win over Milwaukee on Tuesday night.
The absence of Curry, who was given the night off for mental and emotional rest by head coach Steve Kerr, did not seem to hinder the Warriors' momentum. Brandin Podziemski, stepping into the starting lineup, made his presence felt with 17 points and seven rebounds. Meanwhile, Buddy Hield contributed 15 points off the bench, further proving that Golden State has a roster capable of stepping up in key moments.
This win extends the Warriors’ strong run at home, improving to 5-1 on their current seven-game homestand. With just 13 games left in the regular season, Golden State remains in the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference standings. Every game is crucial at this stage, and this victory solidifies their playoff push.

On the other side, the Milwaukee Bucks struggled to find a rhythm, particularly in the early stages of the game. Kyle Kuzma led the team in scoring with 22 points, knocking down five three-pointers, while Giannis Antetokounmpo put up 20 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. Despite a solid contribution from Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez, who each scored 16 points, the Bucks couldn’t keep up with the Warriors’ balanced attack.
A crucial moment in the game came late in the fourth quarter when Gary Trent Jr. missed a three-point attempt that could have tied the game. Immediately after, Podziemski hit his third three-pointer of the night, sealing the win for Golden State. That clutch shot highlighted the young guard’s growing confidence and ability to perform under pressure.
For the Bucks, this loss means they now move on to face a series of tough Western Conference opponents, including the Lakers, Kings, Suns, and Nuggets. Milwaukee will need to regroup quickly to maintain their strong positioning in the Eastern Conference.
Looking ahead, the Warriors will wrap up their season-high seven-game homestand against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night. With Curry expected to return, Golden State will aim to build on this momentum and continue their push for a higher playoff seed.
The message is clear: even without Curry, the Warriors are still a force to be reckoned with. Their ability to adapt and win tough games like this one only strengthens their case as a serious contender in the Western Conference. With Butler fitting in seamlessly and young talents like Podziemski stepping up, Golden State’s depth might just be their biggest weapon moving forward.
