Klay Thompson powers Warriors to rout of Bulls

Four nights after a 10-point dud in Sacramento, Kevin Durant (22 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists) returned to his aggressive ways. Midway through the second quarter, on a missed jumper by Rajon Rondo, Green rose for the defensive rebound and accidentally tapped the ball against the glass with his right hand. The Bulls, who entered Wednesday tied for seventh in the Eastern Conference at 26-26, were slogging through the fourth game of a six-game, 12-day road trip without two of their best players. Jimmy Butler was sidelined by a right heel contusion, and Dwyane Wade hung back at the team hotel with an upper respiratory illness. Against a Warriors lineup that boasts four All-Stars, Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg started the likes of Paul Zipser and Jerian Grant. Fans were already filing toward the exits when seldom-used rookie Damian Jones' 18-foot jumper with 2:15 left put the Warriors up 119-88. [...] back to their dominant ways, Golden State stares down a big three-game road trip. After Friday's matchup in Memphis, the only team to have beaten them twice in the same regular season since the Spurs in 2014-15, the Warriors head to Oklahoma City for Durant's much-hyped homecoming.
