SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – First, Draymond Green defended Giannis Antetokounmpo. Jonathan Kuminga got a few chances then Golden State coach Steve Kerr turned to rookie Tracye Jackson-Davis for a stretch.
Jackson-Davis had studied the Bucks big man and his tendencies: how he “drives left and spins back right” then attacks the basket.
Back at full strength for the first time in months, Golden State gave Antetokounmpo all kinds of looks while showing off its depth and talented bench.
Stephen Curry had 29 points, Kuminga scored 20, and the Warriors ran away from Milwaukee for a 125-90 win yesterday, handing the Bucks their first defeat since the All-Star break.
“He’s a great player he’s a load to guard. Props to our defence we tried to contain him,” Jackson-Davis said. “I’ve never faced anyone like him having the length like that.”
Jackson-Davis had 15 points along with four of Golden State’s season-high 13 blocked shots to match his own career high.
