The Golden State Warriors (31–11) came to Chicago Friday on a back-to-back to embarrass the Chicago Bulls (27–13), 138–96, after being blown out at Milwaukee the previous night.
“We needed it after losing four of the last five,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. “Last night’s blowout, it’s humiliating to feel that, and they responded well. Tonight, Billy [Donovan] probably had to give the same speech I gave last night. It’s 24 hour difference, and who knows why this stuff happens. It makes no sense.”
