CHICAGO–The Warriors continued their domination of the Eastern Conference’s best teams, as Golden State followed up Monday’s impressive victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a blowout 125-94 victory against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Wednesday.

By the conclusion of the first quarter, Golden State’s lead would never drop beneath a double-digit advantage, as a strong night from the Splash Brothers helped to keep a comfortable lead. But Curry- who had 25 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds- and Thompson weren’t alone in their aptitude for scoring. Harrison Barnes followed close behind with 19 points of his own, while the bench scored an additional 49 points for Golden State, led by Leandro Barbosa and Marreese Speights with 12 points each.

Meanwhile, the Bulls couldn’t buy a bucket on their home court, as they finished the game with a dismal 37-percent shooting from the field. Compounding this was an atrocious 1-for-20 shooting from beyond the arc, as the team sunk their chances of staying competitive by their reliance on the long-ball. Some of Chicago’s poor shooting could be attributed to solid Golden State defense, while other open shots just refused to fall for the Bulls on a night in which they suffered their worst loss of the season at 31-points.

What offense Chicago could muster came from stars Derrick Rose-who finished with a game high 29 points but only two assists from the point guard position- and Jimmy Butler, who added 23 of his own points. Chicago’s starting unit would go on to score just seven points on 3-of-22 points, with center Pau Gasol putting up a donut in eight attempts due to solid defense from Andrew Bogut.

The lopsided scoring totals were indicative of what ultimately sunk Chicago’s efforts. While Rose and Butler may have got their points, the contest looked hardly like a team effort from Chicago’s standpoint, as they notched just 14 assists throughout the game, as compared to Golden State’s 38.

The Warriors were also able to force Chicago to run their game, as they broke away for 21 fast-break points on the night as compared to Chicago’s eight.  The loss gave Chicago a three game losing streak at home, as well as leading them to drop the last five out of seven games.

Golden State will return home from their three game road trip to take on the Indiana Pacers on Friday at Oracle Arena.
