Klay Thompson: Klay Thompson scores 43 points, with 27 in 3Q

After the Bucks broke the Warriors’ 27-game win streak Saturday, handing them their lone loss of the season, Golden State did not take kindly to how Milwaukee celebrated the victory.

“When you get a stop or get a transition opportunity, you try to find him wherever he is”, said Curry, finished with 25 points and seven assists. Golden State defeats IN 131-123.

I will make the case, however, that one moment, one event comprised of a Random Bounce AND an Obviously Missed Call, tipped the scales from improbable to impossible for the Warriors, but it didn’t happen that night in Milwaukee.

“It’s amusing, last year during the season I would look at the other coaches and say, ‘We’re going to be much better next year, ‘ and we would sort of laugh”, Kerr said. Curry, Thompson, and Draymond Green scored all the points during that stretch, with a Curry three upping the advantage to 59-46 and forcing a Suns’ timeout. “So, it’s not quite common that you should be looking toward someone’s bench yelling”. That’s five per game for 15 ppg, just on threes.

“It’s just my instincts”. The impact of the Warriors’ refocused offense on both players is a good example of how just a little ball movement can make a big difference.

Little did he know that down the road he would be doing the same thing for the NBA’s best team. The Warriors’ 46-point third quarter was the highest scoring quarter in the National Basketball Association this season.

In New York, Dwyane Wade scored 10 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter, and Hassan Whiteside had 20 points and 13 rebounds to help the Miami Heat beat the Brooklyn Nets 104-98. That allowed Green to repeatedly attack the basket for either layups or foul shots, all while being his usual dominant self defensively.

Kristaps Porzingis had 11 points, six rebounds, six blocks and three assists for the Knicks in his first matchup against fellow rookie and No. 1 pick Karl-Anthony Towns.

“He embodies what this team really means”, Warriors guard Shaun Livingston said. There’s a lot of hustle guys that aren’t necessarily gifted skill-wise. In their last nine games, the Bucks have held opponents to 96.1 points per 100 possessions. After Curry threw an errant pass, the Celtics streaked up court en masse. They got, as Green put it, “too Steph heavy”. Markieff Morris is grabbing 5.2 rebounds and Jon Leuer is dishing 1.4 assists.

So, yes, in some ways the Warriors season is now more normal than it was when they were undefeated.

SALT LAKE CITY – Ryan Anderson scored 24 points to lead New Orleans past Utah. “He’s a competitor. He wants to win”.

Then the Splash Brothers got it going, and that was all she wrote. The Suns might have caught the Warriors at the exact wrong time, suffering a 128-103 ruination on Wednesday that was worse than the score would indicate. The men in teal are coming off their first win of December. They will head to Golden State for a rematch with the Warriors on Friday before concluding the trip in Phoenix on Sunday.

San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points as the Spurs set a club record with their 23rd straight home victory, rolling past the Washington Wizards 114-95.
