After giving Jonathan Kuminga a few opportunities, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr briefly substituted rookie Tracye Jackson-Davis.

Jackson-Davis was familiar with the habits of the big man for the Bucks, including how he “drives left and spins back right” before attacking the hoop.

For the first time in months, Golden State was back to full strength and showed off its depth and talented bench, giving Antetokounmpo a lot of looks.

The Warriors easily defeated the Bucks 125-90 on Wednesday night, led by 29 points from Stephen Curry and 20 from Kuminga. This was the Warriors’ first loss since the All-Star break.

He’s a fantastic player and difficult to contain. Bravo to us for attempting to restrain him,” Jackson-Davis remarked. “I’ve never encountered someone with that level of length.”

Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard led a 19–5 run to begin the third quarter, bringing the Bucks back into the game after they had been behind by 20 at the half. However, Curry, who also finished with eight rebounds and five assists, went to work once more.

In addition to matching his own career best of 15 points, Jackson-Davis was responsible for four of Golden State’s 13 blocked shots this season. Kuminga knocked out three more.

Due to left Achilles tendinitis, Antetokounmpo was doubtful before the game but finished with 23 points and seven rebounds in Monday night’s victory at home against the Clippers.
