Stephen Curry scored 41 points, including 30 in the second half, and the Golden State Warriors found the energetic effort they were looking for, rallying late for a 121-120 victory Tuesday over the Milwaukee Bucks in San Francisco.

Kelly Oubre Jr had 19 points and Kent Bazemore added 18 as the Warriors ended a three-game losing streak in the opener of a stretch of four home games. Oubre gave the Warriors the lead on two free throws with 7.7 seconds remaining.

Golden State had lost seven of its previous eight games and is clinging to the No.10 spot in the Western Conference, the last spot to be eligible for the play-in tournament for the postseason.

Jrue Holiday scored 29 points and Khris Middleton added 28 as Milwaukee saw its three-game winning streak end. The Bucks were playing without leading scorer and rebounder Giannis Antetokounmpo for the second consecutive game because of left knee soreness.

James Wiseman had 13 points and 10 rebounds for Golden State, which rallied from a 13-point deficit in the third quarter and multiple 10-point deficits in the fourth quarter. The Warriors trailed 116-106 with four minutes remaining before going on their late rally.

A 14-1 run, capped by a three-pointer from Curry, gave the Warriors 120-117 lead with 1:06 remaining. The Bucks took a 121-120 lead on a rebound and put-back from Holiday before Oubre's deciding free throws.

In Toronto, the injury-hit Los Angeles Lakers had seven players in double figures in a 110-101 win over the Raptors to kick off a daunting five-game road trip with an encouraging victory.

Talen Horton-Tucker led the Lakers scoring off the bench with 17 points in just over 25 minutes on court as the NBA champions bounced back from their humiliating 104-86 rout by the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.

"We got embarrassed on Sunday against the Clippers," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. "We were all on a long flight angry about how that game went."

Elsewhere Tuesday, Nikola Jokic scored 27 points with 11 assists and eight rebounds as the Denver Nuggets ­extended their winning streak to six games with a 134-119 rout of the Chicago Bulls.

A balanced offensive display from Denver saw Michael Porter Jr add 25 points, while Will Barton finished with 24.
