Bucks stop here: Warriors finally lose

The Bucks ended the Warriors’ 28-game winning streak last week.

Draymond Green scored 24 points with 11 rebounds, eight assists and five blocked shots.

Thompson had 27 in the third quarter alone.

Part of that scoring barrage was Thompson, who went 9-of-11 from the field and 4-of-6 from 3-point range in the Warriors’ big quarter.

“That is why they won a championship”, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek praised of the Warriors. Unfortunately for the Suns, they were on the schedule for a Warriors team that was well-rested and looking forward to tasting victory again.

Biggest Surprise: Warriors’ 24-0 startThese won’t all have to do with the Warriors, we promise.

Poor guy. The former first-overall pick in the NBA Draft ranked 472nd out of 474 players in ESPN’s Real Plus-Minus statistic that weighs a player’s overall value on offense and defense.

Kerr has been dealing with headaches after two back surgeries – the first procedure causing him to leak spinal fluid – that followed Golden State’s first championship in 40 years.

Upon returning home following a grueling seven-game trip, the Warriors improved their record to 25-1 and pleased the crowd behind Thompson as he rebounded with a 15-for-22 shooting night. Additionally, Thompson (12 points) and Curry (10 points) scored a large handful in transition opportunities.

“We were just kind of laughing at some of the stuff going on”, Curry said.

During Golden State’s long flight home from Wisconsin late Saturday, Walton could finally take a breath and reflected on the remarkable start his team had before the Warriors’ unbeaten run ended.

The Golden State Warriors have been playing historically good basketball, and the way in which they do so is a thing of beauty. They were the aggressors, but you’ve got to give them credit for doing that. “Steph said before the game, ‘Hey, let’s not lose two in a row”.

The Warriors had been away so long Walton lost track of his pregame media session.

Much was made about the Warriors coming into that matchup off the back of a double overtime game on the first night of a back to back in Boston, yet somehow the Celtics managed to recover from that game to win on the road against a formidable Charlotte team. He is always a threat to turn in a triple double, and has the potential for a quadruple double.

Marreese Speights, who added 11 points, for a moment went to confront the Suns’ Ronnie Price after being fouled on a last-minute dunk attempt, but apparently decided it wasn’t worth it.

The Spurs stretched their run to 14 consecutive home wins since the start of the season, and a franchise-best 23 victories taking in their sequence at the end of 2014/15.
