Milwaukee Bucks defeat the Golden State Warriors 120-110 

The Milwaukee Bucks overcame the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo to defeat the Golden State Warriors 120-110 on Thursday night, with Ryan Rollins setting a career scoring high with 32 points for the second consecutive game.

The Bucks' injury report listed Antetokounmpo as probable due to left knee pain. Prior to Thursday, he was ranked second in the league in scoring (36.3) and rebounding (14.0). The two-time MVP watched the game from the sideline after the Bucks announced his exclusion around an hour prior to the first tip. Rollins shot 13 of 21 from the floor and 5 of 7 from 3-point range just two nights after scoring 25 points in a 121-111 victory over the New York Knicks. Rollins, who began his NBA career with Golden State in 2022-23, also had eight assists.
