The Golden State Warriors entered the United Center on Friday night in absolute dire need of a win, after a brutal and embarrassing home trip. And in an encouraging and delightfully entertaining matchup, the Warriors did exactly that, beating the Chicago Bulls 140-131.
It started out strangely. With the Dubs down four key rotation players, Steve Kerr turned to a very unexpected and odd lineup, starting Dario Šariu0107 and the struggling Andrew Wiggins alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevon Looney. It had mixed results, but the Warriors looked good out of the gates.
