The Golden State Warriors rebounded impressively from a tough loss, defeating the Chicago Bulls 131-106. After trailing at halftime, the Warriors dominated the second half, outscoring the Bulls 31-16 in the third quarter. Steph Curry celebrated his All-Star selection by scoring 21 points, while young players Gui Santos and Quinten Post shone with career-highs of 19 and 20 points, respectively. Brandin Podziemski returned from injury and contributed effectively off the bench.

Steve Kerr’s adjustments were notable, particularly his decision to bench Gary Payton II and Trayce Jackson-Davis at halftime, which allowed the bench to outscore the starters. As the Warriors improved to 22-22, questions arise about the future rotation given the impending returns of Kyle Anderson and Jonathan Kuminga. The victory showcased the depth and potential of this Warriors squad.
