To wrap up their three-game road swing, the Golden State Warriors paid a stop at the United Center to meet the Chicago Bulls for the second game of a back-to-back.
After streaking to an upset win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, the Warriors picked up right where they left off on Sunday in Chicago.

With Steph Curry still sidelined with a quad injury, it was guard Brandin Podzienski who helped navigate the Warriors. In 29 minutes off the bench, Podziemski notched a team-high 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field with five made triples to go along with seven assists and eight rebounds.
While Curry is still recovering from his quad injury, the Warriors welcomed back Jimmy Butler to the rotation on Sunday. After missing two games with a knee injury, Butler recorded 19 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field with five rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes.
Pat Spencer tallied double-figure scoring numbers for his fourth straight game. While starting in place of Curry, Spencer recorded 12 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field with six assists and five rebounds in 27 minutes.
The Warriors wasted no time in Chicago, opening the game by outscoring the Bulls 38-25 in the first quarter. Quinten Post hit a trio of triples in the first quarter to help spark Golden State’s offense early. Behind their early lead, the Warriors cruised to a dominant 123-91 victory over the Bulls.

Following a pair of wins, the Warriors will now head back to Chase Center with an above .500 record at 13-12. With Curry’s return from injury looming, the Warriors will get a much-needed four days off before hosting Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves on Friday in San Francisco.
