Golden State Warriors end winning streak

The Bucks will remain a mediocre-to-good team most of the time.

Center Greg Monroe scored 28 points to lead Milwaukee, doing most of his damage in the fourth quarter. Reserve guard Marcus Thornton scored 18 points as Houston (12-12) won for the seventh time in nine games. Not to mention, the Warriors made just six 3-pointers Saturday.

What did the Warriors do wrong? Fans gravitated toward regular-season scores as the streak reached 24-0. Instead, he began the final frame with Jason Thompson and Festus Ezeli in the frontcourt, with no spacers in sight. They didn’t seem to be too carried away with whatever the streak was. Milwaukee also snapped the Los Angeles Lakers 33-game winning streak in the 1971-72 season.

Some were inclined to include the four straight games the Warriors won at the end of the 2014-15 regular season; others, with a more purist view, thought the streak should be measured in terms of games from the current season only. “We wanted to make sure we did the things we did, the things we go over and try to make it as tough as possible for them”. This Warriors team has already established themselves as an unforgettably transcendent sledgehammer. “But I don’t think we ever played our A-plus game, which is the big goal of the season, to find that, as we go into the playoffs”. In addition to last year’s Warriors, the Kansas City Royals also claimed a championship after starting the 2015 season with a MLB-best seven straight wins. Long live the season.

“But our goal was always to get better each and every time we get on the floor, whether that’s practice or whether that is in the game”. You have to assume this team will be looking to start another lengthy streak after losing the final contest of their recent seven-game road trip.

Mayo was hardly the only Buck to have a big night.

“Losing sucks even if you are 24-1”.

The Bucks, meanwhile, would be happy just to catch up to their own. It’s what they go to.

“But you’re just trying to coach and you’re trying to play in a consistent fashion and not be concerned about the streak”. Just now, (we have to) get back to what we know. ” ‘Moose’s played [power forward] before coming here”. League-wide, players have taken notice to the inner workings of the league’s best team. “And we can put together a lot more wins”. “So defensively we can hold our own”.

The Bucks head West to face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. The Warriors are counting on one speed-bump of a night to re-focus them on continuous improvement, allow for some much-needed rest and target what matters most, a second consecutive National Basketball Association title.

The Celtics (14-10) bounced back from a draining double-overtime loss to Golden State. “Thirty-three wins was within our grasp”. Playing on their own back-to-back, the Bucks hit shots they normally miss, gave the Warriors real trouble with their length and relentlessly attacked in transition, scoring a sensational 24 points off turnovers.
