Stephen Curry scored 29 points as the Golden State Warriors bounced back from a painful defeat to thrash the Milwaukee Bucks 125-90.
Seven-time NBA champions Golden State had suffered a staggering 52-point loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
But they scored an impressive 40 points in Wednesday's first quarter, adding 38 in the second to take a decisive 78-58 lead at San Francisco's Chase Center.
"For us to respond the way we did coming home was big," said Curry.
"The nature of the NBA, you can get hit by a bus like we did in Boston and there's a temptation to forget the body of work that we've put in over the last month and a half and the identity we're trying to create.
"For us to be able to turn the page, play with conviction and confidence after a beatdown like that, it shows what we're trying to build and who we are."
The Warriors had been unbeaten since the All-Star break with a record of six straight victories.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee's scorers with 23 points and his side remain second in the Eastern Conference with a 41-22 record while Golden State improved to 33-28 and sit ninth in the Western Conference.
Elsewhere, the Orlando Magic extended their winning run to five games with a 119-109 victory over the Washington Wizards.
Franz Wagner scored 28 points to help the Magic overturn a 21-point deficit in the second quarter to snatch victory.
The Los Angeles Clippers recovered after trailing by 20 in the second quarter to beat the Houston Rockets 122-116 while the Los Angeles Lakers lost 130-120 to the Sacramento Kings.

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
