Ryan Rollins scored a career-high 32 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks past the Golden State Warriors 120–110 at Fiserv Forum on Thursday night. The victory came in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was sidelined with left knee soreness.
Rollins shot 13 of 21 from the floor, hitting five of seven from three-point range, and added eight assists in his second consecutive career-best performance. Myles Turner contributed 17 points, while Cole Anthony scored 16 before fouling out, helping Milwaukee’s bench outscore Golden State’s reserves 38–29.
The Warriors were paced by Stephen Curry with 27 points, Jonathan Kuminga with 24, and Jimmy Butler with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Despite trailing by eight with five minutes remaining, Golden State cut Milwaukee’s lead to 106–104 on Curry’s three-pointer with 4:03 left. Rollins quickly answered with a three of his own, sparking an 11–2 run that sealed the game.
Milwaukee’s starters shared the scoring load, with Kyle Kuzma adding 10 points, Gary Trent Jr. 13, and AJ Green 10. The Bucks relied on strong team defense and timely three-pointers to maintain control throughout the second half.
Curry’s streak of 57 consecutive successful free throws ended late in the fourth quarter, marking the second-longest free-throw streak of his career. Jonathan Kuminga also contributed with rebounds and defensive pressure, but Golden State could not overcome Milwaukee’s balanced attack.
The Bucks improve to 4-1 while the Warriors fall to 4-2. Milwaukee hosts the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, while Golden State visits the Indiana Pacers.
