The Golden State Warriors secured a significant victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, despite missing their superstar point guard Steph Curry. The team, coming off a loss to the Denver Nuggets the night before, showed no signs of fatigue as they overpowered Milwaukee’s star-studded lineup.
With Curry sidelined, the Warriors welcomed back Brandin Podziemski, who had missed the previous five games due to a bilateral low back strain. His return provided a much-needed boost, as he stepped into the starting lineup and made an immediate impact.
Podziemski’s Strong Comeback Performance
Podziemski wasted no time showcasing his value, delivering an impressive 17-point, 7-rebound performance while shooting 6-10 from the field and 4-7 from three-point range. His energy and efficiency helped Golden State hold off Milwaukee and secure a crucial win.
Following the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr praised Podziemski’s performance, expressing optimism about his return.
“He looked strong,” Kerr stated. “You could see the force and energy right away. It’s great to have him back, and hopefully, we can keep him healthy and increase his minutes. It’s fun to watch him play.”
Warriors Gearing Up for Playoff Push
Since acquiring Jimmy Butler in a mid-season trade, the Warriors have yet to field a fully healthy lineup. However, getting key players like Podziemski back into rhythm is essential as the team prepares for a playoff run. With Curry’s absence, Golden State’s depth and resilience will be tested, but Tuesday’s win proved they are more than capable of competing against top contenders.
