TWO days after crushing the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena, the Golden State Warriors took on the Chicago Bulls at the United Center and got comfortable early again with a 125-94 blowout win Wednesday night.

    Golden State led 34-18 after the first quarter and never trailed by single digits thereafter, winning every quarter and keeping all Chicago runs relatively minor. A three-game road trip that started with a rough loss to the Detroit Pistons now finishes as a reaffirmation of their greatness.

    The Warriors’ stellar play started early. After a Jimmy Butler jumper tied it at 14-14 a few seconds past the halfway mark of the first, the visitors finished the period on a 20-4 run.

    Stephen Curry led the way with 25 points and 11 assists, but the Warriors had six players in double figures and shot 52.6 percent from the field.

    The only real scare of the game came early in the third quarter when Draymond Green took a shot to the face and had to go back to the locker room for attention, but he returned to the court after passing the NBA’s concussion protocol tests.

    The Bulls struggled just as much offensively as defensively, shooting a mere 1-of-20 from three-point range as part of a 37-percent shooting night overall. (SD-Agencies)
