Warriors return to winning ways behind 68 points from Splash Brothers

The Milwaukee Bucks have been warned: The Golden State Warriors are back, and they're looking for revenge.

The Warriors looked re-energized following a brutal seven-game road trip and bounced back from their lone loss of the season by dropping the helpless Phoenix Suns 128-103.

Golden State's record now sits at 25-1, and the Warriors pushed their home winning streak to 29 games. Ridiculous.

The Big Three

Stephen Curry scored 25 points on 10-of-14 shooting, Draymond Green posted his fourth triple-double of the season with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. But both Curry and Green were somehow overshadowed by Klay Thompson

Thompson exploded for 27 points in the third quarter to break the game wide open. Recall that he set an NBA record with 37 points in the third last season against the Sacramento Kings.

Thompson finished the game with 43 points and was greeted with a much-deserved standing ovation by "The Roaracle."

Oh yeah, none of the Warriors' starters played in the fourth. There was simply no need after propping open a 40-point lead. Credit Curry and Thompson for that: The duo outscored the Suns 68-65 through three quarters.

69-25

For a brief stretch in the first half, the Warriors looked off. Their defense was uncharacteristically lackadaisical and their jumpers weren't quite falling. It looked as if they were still shaking off the cobwebs after a grueling seven-game road trip.

The Suns led 40-36 midway through the second. But that was followed by a stunning 69-25 run in the span of 17 minutes.

Thompson dropped dagger after dagger. Curry threw fancy passes. Green grabbed a handful of steals. Andrew Bogut whipped out a between-the-legs drop pass. The Warriors rediscovered their touch, and all the Suns could do was watch.

At the end of it all, Golden State's starting unit outscored their counterparts by a margin of 95-36 - and that's with Bogut going scoreless.

Fear the Deer

With the Dubs back on track, they'll turn their sights to avenging their lone blemish of the year when they play host to the Bucks on Friday.

In their last meeting, the Warriors looked utterly spent in their bid to become the first ever-team to sweep a seven-game road trip. Having played a double-overtime thriller the night before, the Warriors had no legs and ultimately fell short against the Bucks.

The tides have now turned.

The Bucks - who have lost their last two games by a combined 31 points to the Los Angeles franchises - will be the shorthanded team on the road. Milwaukee will be without Greg Monroe (who led the way with 28 points in the team's pivotal win over Golden State) and the Warriors look sharper than ever.

Golden State's revenge will be swift and merciless.
