The Golden State Warriors are set to embark on an eight-game homestand as they face off against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. The matchup will take place at 7:00 PM PT at the Chase Center in San Francisco and will be broadcast on NBC Sports Bay Area.
In their last outing, the Warriors suffered a narrow defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers, losing 103–102. The game was marred by controversial officiating, highlighted by a missed goaltending call that affected the momentum in the fourth quarter. Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr was visibly frustrated with the officiating, leading to his ejection after he received two technical fouls while defending his team’s play.
Despite the challenges, the Warriors had an opportunity to clinch the win in the final seconds. With Steph Curry fouled out, Jimmy Butler attempted a challenging fadeaway jumper but missed the basket, and the Clippers secured the rebound, resulting in Golden State’s 18th loss of the season.
One critical area the Warriors need to improve ahead of their game against the Bucks is their shooting from beyond the arc. In the matchup against the Clippers, they completed just 10-of-41 three-point attempts, accounting for a dismal 24.4% shooting rate. For the Warriors to come out on top against Milwaukee, they must enhance their perimeter shooting, particularly against the harsh defensive presence of Bucks stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner.
The projected starters for the game include Steph Curry, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and Quinten Post for the Warriors, while the Bucks will field Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Myles Turner.
As the Warriors aim to bounce back and regain their footing over the .500 mark, fans are eager to see how the team adapts and responds under pressure against a formidable opponent. Enjoy the game, Dub Nation!
