Warriors 24-game win streak ends with loss to Bucks

The Warriors rallied, but the Celtics had a chance to win it at the end of regulation.

After Golden State’s attempt to score on an inbounds play failed, the Celtics had the ball with 0.7 seconds to play, but Kelly Olynyk’s jumper wouldn’t fall.

Durant hit a tiebreaking three-pointer with 1 minute, 6 seconds left, then made two free throws with two seconds left to seal it. He also got eight rebounds. Boston Celtics forward David Lee had it on his mind as well while discussing his time with the Warriors. He was stellar defensively on Friday with five blocked shots and five steals in addition to 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists.

It only took two overtimes (and one middle-of-the-night flight) but the Golden State Warriors are still undefeated.

“Golden State is on fire right now – but I know that we have the capacity to win the title”.

The loss dropped the Celtics to 13-10 and the seventh spot overall in the Eastern Conference, but Curry believes that Boston is a better squad than its record indicates.

“It’s the toughest loss we’ve had all season”, Crowder said. “It’s always a playoff atmosphere because they all want to beat us”.

This bothered Golden State, with Draymond Green and Stephen Curry lashing out before the season at people who criticized their fortune. Curry said about the same words during the first overtime. “We’ll dig deep for tomorrow”.

Kevin O’Connor and Jared Weiss break down one of the most thrilling Celtics games in years. The Warriors outscored the Nets 10-2 in the extra 5 minutes.

Spurs 109, Lakers 87: LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points, Kawhi Leonard added 16 and they each had 11 rebounds to lift San Antonio over Los Angeles. So you know they have that punch, that firepower.

Green said: “The same old same old, which has made us who we are”. “I remember them having to change the rules because of me and my brothers”. That’s not true, I do take a lot of good stuff that we’ll talk about and we’ll see.

Walton said Larry Bird was his childhood hero.

G Klay Thompson, who trails only teammate Steph Curry in National Basketball Association scoring, suffered an ankle sprain during Tuesday night’s win in IN and did not play. New England Patriots players Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman and LeGarrette Blount were in the crowd….

Heading into the most highly anticipated regular-season game for the Boston Celtics in recent memory, you nearly couldn’t help but wonder privately if it would actually live up to the hype. Much like two seasons ago, the Dubs will be playing their seventh and final game of the road trip on the back end of a back-to-back. “This team is built and playing differently than they have in the past with Big Al even when Big Al is here”.
