Finally, a quality win against top-notch competition. The Warriors get 56 points (and 13 assists) from their starting backcourt, including 22 of their 28 fourth quarter points.

Just look at all that green in the net stats above — outside of a small deficit in rebounds and assists, the Warriors won every statistical category. Perhaps most impressive was the +9 on turnovers, as the Warriors only coughed the ball up 7 times. Curry’s 8 assists to 2 turnovers deserves a mention in that context.

The overall team defensive effort was outstanding, as it wasn’t an accident that Rose had 9 turnovers. Also good to see that the Warriors took advantage of the Bulls’ bench, as 4 of their reserves were double-digit negative on +/-.

Speaking of +/-, check out Radmonovic’s line: 20 minutes, zero points, 3 rebounds, but a team-high +23. I didn’t watch the whole game, but he must be creating a lot of space for the guards to get inside by drawing his man outside. Hell of a weapon, and what a turnaround from the early part of the season.

I said before the game that the Warriors needed to start beating good teams at home, and tonight they delivered. Credit where credit is due — and let’s hope this positive result gives them the incentive they need to keep up the defensive intensity when Phoenix and Denver come to town this week.

The Warriors put their epic 2-game winning streak on the line tonight against the red-hot Bulls. They’re gonna need a team effort for this one, especially with a thin back court (thanks to Charlie Bell’s DUI — seriously dude, great timing) and Derrick Rose ready to rack up the fouls on Curry and Ellis. Aside from the Bobcats, the Warriors have been beating the teams they’re supposed to during their recent home stretch. But now they need to take it up a level and start winning a few games where they’re underdogs; tonight would be a great time to get that started.

Ugly loss. When you’re missing your best inside player and then turn the ball over 9 times in the opening period on the road, you’re basically giving yourself no chance. Hopefully they can forget this one before finishing up the roadie tomorrow night in Milwaukee.

Read Feltbot for a recap of just how awful Brandon Wright was in his first start of the year. File this one under “Not seizing the opportunity.”

Upsides to this game? None that I can really see. The deficit hit 30 points in the second quarter, and still Monta played 37 minutes. You get the opportunity to see if Jeremy Lin and Jeff Adrien have anything to offer, and they get 9 and 6 minutes, respectively. They lose the rebounding battle, shoot 41%, and give up 55% shooting.

At least it’s just one game, and no one really faults them for losing to the Bulls on the road without Lee. Still, you’d hope to have at least seen a better effort. Let’s hope they get some needed rest before playing the red-hot Bucks tomorrow night.

The Warriors gain an hour as they move to the central time zone, but still have to play their fourth game in five nights. With Saturday night opponent Milwaukee having blown out their last two opponents, this might be the best chance for the Warriors to secure a winning record on this road trip. What to watch for tonight:

  • Da Bench. Four of the five starters played 40+ minutes last night, so to have any chance the Warriors are going to need some quality minutes from the bench. Wright and Lin have been making progress, so I’d hope to see them get some run tonight. Reggie Williams was decent last night, but I think the team will need a lot more scoring from him to have a chance. And can Radmonovic turn around his recent woeful play?
  • Da Boards. Boozer is still out with an injury, but Joakim Noah has been an animal on the glass and is averaging 15 boards a game. I’d expect Lee to be a bit stiff tonight after the elbow injury (not to mention the emotions from last night’s return to the Garden), so Biedrins better bring it against Noah in the middle. If Biedrins can equal Noah’s rebounding total tonight, then the Warriors should be in good shape to steal one.
  • Controlling Rose and Deng. Derrick Rose had the hot hand early for the Bulls, but in recent games it was been Luol Deng who’s done the most damage. This will be a hell of a test for Dorrell Wright — let’s see if he can be the perimeter stopper he was advertised as when the Warriors signed him (though, in fairness, he’s been doing a hell of a lot more than just defending so far this season).

Regret watch: after seeing Anthony Randolph last night, tonight the Warriors get to see how C.J. Watson is adjusting to the Bulls. Despite the Warriors’ obvious hole at the backup PG spot this year, I still don’t miss Watson much: he just isn’t a PG, can’t play defense, and does little more but give you a backup Monta with a better outside shot but little to no inside game.

UPDATE: Per the twitter, Lee is out tonight as he rests his lacerated elbow. An already tough back-to-back just got a whole lot harder…
