Gui Santos added 19 points with five 3-pointers
and Andrew Wiggins had 17 points as the Warriors completed a
back-to-back after squandering an 18-point lead in a 123-117
loss at Sacramento on Wednesday night.
Zach LaVine scored 24 points and Josh Giddey added 16 points and
11 rebounds for Chicago, which snapped a five-game skid at the
Clippers on Monday.
Curry, playing back-to-back games for the first time since
November before dealing with tendinitis in both knees, went 5
for 12 on 3-pointers.
Earlier in the day, was named for the All-Star Game on his home
floor at Chase Center on Feb. 16 — his 11th and 10th time as a
starter. That moved him past Paul Arizin for most All-Star
selections in franchise history.
Takeaways
Bulls: G Coby White, who sat out a second consecutive game, was
examined by a doctor and underwent imaging in Los Angeles that
showed he has a bone bruise in his right ankle from planting on
his foot Jan. 19 at Portland. Coach Billy Donovan expects White
might miss a week or more.
Warriors: Draymond Green missed his third straight game with a
strained left calf.
Key moment
Wiggins and Post hit consecutive 3-pointers late in the third
that turned a 10-point advantage into a 94-80 lead going into
the final 12 minutes.
Key stat
The Warriors haven't been swept in their seven back-to-backs
this season. They are 3-4 in the second game.
Up next
Chicago returns home to face the 76ers on Saturday night. The
Warriors host LeBron James and the Lakers on Saturday.
