The Golden State Warriors had to fight all the way as they sealed a narrow win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Stephen Curry helped the Warriors to a 10-point lead inside the final four minutes, and while Ersan Ilyasova slashed the lead to just three in the last minute of the game, but the home side were able to hold on.
