The Warriors are BY FAR the best third-quarter team in the NBA. They entered the night a plus-218 in the third quarter this season, 70 points better than the next best team. Golden State’s third-quarter dominance was on display at the United Center on Wednesday night, and it propelled the defending champs to a 119-112 victory and a 14th straight road win, tying a franchise record.
The Bulls actually led 66-63 at halftime after a well-balanced first-half effort. After falling behind by 12 points early thanks to a whole lot of Stephen Curry, the Bulls stormed back behind spirited play from Nikola Mirotic and the bench.
