The Warriors led for most of the contest, stretching their lead to as many as 17 points in the third quarter. The Bucks were able to trim Golden State's lead down to single digits down the stretch in the fourth quarter. Yet, it was too late as the Warriors secured a 120-113 win against the Bucks.

De'Anthony Melton led Golden State's second unit with 22 points off the bench on an efficient 8-of-12 shooting from the field with five made 3-pointers in 25 minutes against the Bucks. Melton's 22 points marked a new season-high for the veteran guard and his first 20-point performance of the 2025-26 campaign.

Antetokounmpo notched a game-high 34 points along with 10 boards and five assists in 31 minutes, but it wasn't enough against the Warriors on Wednesday at Chase Center.
