CURRY TEES OFF
Stephen Curry scored 10 points in a three-minute span in the first quarter, capped by a deep splash over Brook Lopez. Lopez was defending the 3-point line, but unfortunately for him, Curry's range extends far beyond that line as he calmly rose into a 32-footer, hitting all net. Following his deep shot, Curry simulated his favorite offseason sport, golf, pretending to tee off and showing off his swing. The celebration served as a metaphor for his first quarter flurry as he was teeing off against the Bucks' defense, making each of his four field goals over that stretch, including two 3-pointers. The Warriors scored 40 points in the quarter, surpassing their first-half total against the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
Curry finished with a game-high 29 points and six made 3-pointers.

KUMINGA’S VERSATILE SCORING
Jonathan Kuminga showcased a versatile scoring arsenal en route to 16 first-half points. Kuminga opened the scoring for the Dubs with a right-hand tomahawk slam. He had three dunks, two made 3-pointers and two additional two-pointers in the half, finishing 7-for-10 from the field.
TWO-WAY TJD
Trayce Jackson-Davis had an electrifying two-way stretch in the third quarter, blocking two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo twice at the rim and finishing an alley-oop jam on the other end, assisted by the Warriors' two-time MVP (Curry). Less than two minutes later, Jackson-Davis again met Antetokounmpo at the rim and dunked in transition.

WELCOME BACK, BOB MYERS
Former general manager and president of basketball operations Bob Myers returned to Chase Center on Wednesday to provide color commentary of the game for ESPN. Myers was celebrated with a tribute video for his contributions to four Warriors' championship teams. The celebration included his three daughters addressing the crowd to honor their father, which made Myers very emotional. The Warriors' players clapped and Dub Nation cheered in appreciation for everything he's meant to the organization.
