Dubs Unable to Hold Back Bucks

Though the Warriors held the Milwaukee Bucks to 22 percent shooting from three-point distance (9-for-41), it was not enough as the squad fell 107-08 on Wednesday at Chase Center.

The Dubs mounted a fourth quarter comeback with an 8-0 run that included back-to-back three-point shots from Glenn Robinson III, followed immediately by a Ky Bowman steal leading to a dunk. With 1:51 left in the game, the Dubs found themselves down just 101-96.

Despite the final push by the Warriors, Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe went 6-for-6 from the free throw line down the stretch to withstand the Dubs’ comeback. The Warriors’ loss now makes six in a row for the squad.
