Warriors settle score, beat Bucks

Though the Bucks managed to tie the score twice, the Warriors never again trailed, using a 13-4 run over the final 2:16 to pull away.

Six nights after the Bucks ended the Warriors’ season-opening winning streak at 24 games, Milwaukee threatened to hand Golden State a first defeat on their home floor in Oakland, California, since last January. I know Draymond (Green) is mad.

Green’s line: 21 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, plus-15. “Winning is great, but there’s a way to win”. Thompson hit back-to-back 3-pointers and Curry bombed in a long 2-pointer as Golden State forced a Bucks timeout at 83-80 with 3:26 remaining in the quarter.

Those shirts proved prophetic, but may have poked the bear more than the Bucks players would have wanted with a game at Golden State so soon after. With the victory, the Warriors improve to 26-1 on the season.

His explosion sparked Golden State’s tremendous fourth-quarter offense, as the Warriors outscored Milwaukee 36-19 in the game’s final period to avoid their second loss of the season. “I think probably the last seven or eight games we stopped getting better and just tried to win the game”. “We’ve just got to keep working on it, keep trusting our coaches and keep having faith in each other”.
