Warriors’ Klay Thompson: Tallies game-high 27 points in Friday win
The Golden State Warriors have not lost a regular season home game since January 27th.
The Golden State Warriors are thought by many to have a fighting chance to match the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ 72-win mark as they continue to roll through opponents. That wasn’t lost on an Oakland, Calif., company ahead of the Bucks’ game against the Golden State Warriors Friday night, who made a decision to retaliate for a certain T-shirt printed in Milwaukee last week. “But if it affected some of our guys, I’m OK with it. It just means one more reason to be motivated when we go out there and play”. But we’re not going to beat the great teams playing like that. “We’re trying to compete for a championship, and there’s a way to win”. “The game stopped with Green & Mayo exchanging heated words before Mayo put his hand on Green’s head”.
Green pushed away Mayo’s arm before getting into a bit of a shoving match with the Bucks’ Khris Middleton. A few other players got involved before everything was broken up and both teams retreated to their locker rooms.
An alley-oop and a technical free throw would push Milwaukee’s lead to 11 early in the fourth quarter, but then the Warriors began to make their run.
Green scored eight points in a span of 1:06 to cut Milwaukee’s lead to 100-97.
Kerr has been at practice every day this week and runs about half of each workout, Curry said. The crowd will also be into the game, and the Splash Brothers of Curry and Thompson will be draining 3-pointers all night.
The Warriors, defending National Basketball Association champions and owners of a 25-1 record, have found a new motivation in the form of the Milwaukee Bucks.
“The fight was there and the intent was right”, coach Jason Kidd said. First off, the Warriors are absolutely loaded with talented players, and now are carrying 25 wins on the season.
Perhaps showing the rust of the relatively long lay-off following a marathon seven-game trip, the Warriors trailed 38-42 in the eighth minute of the second quarter before exploding past the Suns over the course of the next 17 minutes.
“Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman – let me just start with those three”, Barkley said. They are just 1-4 in their last five games, with the one win coming against the Warriors. “For us, a lot of good things came out of this”.
Warriors: C Andrew Bogut did not return after the first quarter because an injured back….
This occurred when they played at the BMO Harris Bradley Center and the Bucks decided they would not get pushed around by the best team in the league.
Thompson and teammate Draymond Green, apparently, took umbrage over how the Bucks’ acted after the victory, particularly the antics of Bucks point guard Michael Carter-Williams, ESPN wrote. They have dropped the jaws of even the most carping of critics with their historic feats and just like Luke Skywalker, the force is strong with this team.
