SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry had 36 points, including 22 in the fourth quarter and overtime, as the Golden State Warriors beat the NBA’s top-ranked Milwaukee Bucks 125-116 on Saturday.

Curry shone in his first home game since an extended injury absence. He hit a 3-point equalizer with 19 seconds left in regulation time and blocked a Jrue Holiday lay-up in the dying moments.

The Warriors got the ball back with 1.9 seconds left and Curry sent it to Draymond Green, who missed his long shot.

Holiday had given Milwaukee the lead on a 3-pointer with 32.7 seconds remaining and finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. But the Bucks (48-19), who played without star Giannis Antetokounmpo, rode a three-game winning streak and suffered just their second loss in 21 games since Jan. 21.

Klay Thompson scored 22 points, Donte DiVincenzo had 20 and 10 rebounds, and the Warriors won at home for the seventh straight and 11th in their last 12 games.
