SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry delivered 21 points and seven assists, Quinten Post set a career-high with 20 points, and the Golden State Warriors cruised past the Chicago Bulls 131-106 on Thursday night.

Gui Santos contributed 19 points, including five 3-pointers, while Andrew Wiggins added 17 points. The Warriors bounced back from Wednesday's 123-117 loss to Sacramento, a game in which they squandered an 18-point lead.

Zach LaVine led Chicago with 24 points, and Josh Giddey tallied 16 points and 11 rebounds. The Bulls, who snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over the Clippers on Monday, couldn’t maintain momentum.

Curry, playing in back-to-back games for the first time since November after recovering from tendinitis in both knees, shot 5-for-12 from beyond the arc.

Earlier Thursday, Curry was announced as a starter for the All-Star Game on Feb. 16 at Chase Center, marking his 11th overall selection and 10th as a starter. This achievement moved him past Paul Arizin for the most All-Star selections in franchise history.

Takeaways

Bulls: Guard Coby White missed his second straight game due to a bone bruise in his right ankle sustained on Jan. 19 in Portland. Imaging conducted in Los Angeles confirmed the injury. Coach Billy Donovan anticipates White will be sidelined for at least a week.

Warriors: Draymond Green sat out his third consecutive game with a strained left calf.

Key Moment

Late in the third quarter, consecutive 3-pointers by Wiggins and Post turned a 10-point lead into a commanding 94-80 advantage heading into the final period.

Key Stat

The Warriors have yet to be swept in any of their seven back-to-back sets this season, holding a 3-4 record in the second game.

Up Next

The Bulls return home to host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Warriors will welcome LeBron James and the Lakers to Chase Center on Saturday.
