CHICAGO (AP) — The Golden State Warriors posted their biggest-margin win of the season by outscoring the Chicago Bulls 138-96 on Andrew Wiggins’ 21 points and Stephen Curry’s 19 on Friday.
Rookie Jonathan Kuminga finished with 25 points and Jordan Poole added 22.
The Warriors had a great start to take the lead early. They took a deep breath after being blown out the night before by the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bulls were without star Zach LaVine due to a left knee injury early in the game. They were booed off the court at the end of the first half 78-47 in what turned out to be their worst loss of the season.
Wiggins had 20 points in the first half and was 8-for-11 in the game. Curry got off to a slow start in a completely different game from the night before, when the Warriors trailed 77-38 at halftime in Milwaukee.
Poole hit five 3-pointers and the Warriors made it look easy despite playing without Klay Thompson or Draymond Green.
Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and 14 rebounds for Chicago, Coby White added 20 points and DeMar DeRozan finished with 17.
It was the third loss in four games for the Bulls after winning nine in a row to match their longest losing streak since the end of the 2010-11 regular season.
