Nikola Vucevic continued his recent dominance of the Golden State Warriors on Sunday afternoon , exploding for a career-best-tying 43 points to lift the host Chicago Bulls to a 132-118 victory that ended an 11-game losing streak to the defending champs.
Vucevic has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last 11 games against the Warriors, with three games of 30 or more and now one of 40 or more.Klay Thompson bombed in eight 3-pointers in 15, accounting for all but two of his team-high 26 points for the Warriors, who fell to 4-17 on the road. But the Bulls, seeking to snap a three-game losing streak, regained their early form in the second half, grabbing the lead for good on Patrick Williams’ free throw just before the midpoint of the third period.
