There are bounce-back wins, and then there's what the Warriors did Wednesday night at Chase Center.
Three days after an embarrassing 52-point loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, the Warriors rebounded with an impressive 35-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Per Sportradar, the 125-90 win is the biggest by an NBA team immediately following a loss of at least 50 points.

The Warriors, with a completely healthy roster for the first time in three months, jumped out to a 20-point halftime lead over the Bucks, and despite Milwaukee making a third-quarter push, Golden State put enough resistance, sealing the win with a dominant 32-9 fourth quarter.
Steph Curry led the way with a game-high 29 points, while Jonathan Kuminga added 20 points in the win. Rookie forward Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 15 points off the bench and was a plus-20 in 19 electric minutes off the bench.
The win moves the Warriors to 33-28 and vaults them back into ninth place in the Western Conference, ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers, who lost to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors will have a chance to build on their big win when they take on the Chicago Bulls on Thursday at Chase Center.
Golden State has a chance to stack wins with its next three games coming against the Bulls and then back-to-back contests against the San Antonio Spurs. If the Warriors can sweep the trio if games, the loss to the Celtics will be a blip on the radar as they make their push up the Western Conference standings.
