Warriors Looking Forward To ‘Redemption Opportunity’ Against Bucks

When’s the last time someone said that?

The Golden State Warriors rebounded from their streak-breaking loss to the Milwaukee Bucks by thrashing the Phoenix Suns 128-103 in a dominant performance at Oracle Arena. “We were real sloppy in the first quarter”, Thompson said. “I can’t wait to see them again”.

The Golden State Warriors’ post-title run ended at 24-0 and 28-0 in total, if one counts their wins since last season. The Warriors, meanwhile, enjoyed the previous three days off.

“If you fall asleep for 2 minutes, they can go up big-time”, Carter-Williams said of the Warriors. The Warriors were destroying teams in the first 17 games of the season, as Klay “struggled” to get going. “When we take care of the ball and get after it on defense…”

They led by 41 points early in the fourth quarter, before easing home to the win, allowing the Suns to narrow the margin of their still-heavy defeat.

Curry and Thompson each hit a pair of 3s, and Green dropped in a fifth during the run.

“And they’ve got to come in here on Friday night”.

When you’ve scored an National Basketball Association record 37 points in a quarter, dropping 27 in a period probably isn’t a big deal to you.

“We’re looking forward to it, man”, Thompson said. “We all have to do our part”.

In Indianapolis, Monta Ellis scored 13 of his 19 points in the third quarter, C.J. Miles added 20, and Paul George had 19 to help the hosts beat Dallas.

Suns: Phoenix surrendered 15 3-pointers this time after giving up a Golden State franchise-best 22 from long range – and NBA-record 15 in the first half – in the first meeting with the Warriors on November 27….

On Friday the Bucks won’t be facing a team playing the seventh game of a seven-game road trip, and won’t be facing a stale Thompson.

You poked the bear, Bucks. And now you’re going to pay for it. However, their first loss of the season has not slowed them down, and they are aiming for their second straight win against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight, according to Mercury News.

The Warriors haven’t forgotten the aftermath of their loss to the Bucks, which could be unfortunate for Milwaukee. Green, a defensive force all game, pumped in 11 points, six boards, seven assists, and three steals during those two quarters.

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

“It was a great win for us”, Carter-Williams said. They have a lot of guys who know how to play and who can shoot it in the hole. It was Brooklyn’s third straight at home in an extended five-game home stand.

“It’s another game – against a 10-18 team, or 10-17”, Draymond Green mused.

The NBA has set up the more hard Western games for the Warriors in 2016: Three games with the Oklahoma City Thunder, four with the Spurs. He missed eight consecutive games with a strained right hamstring.
