Golden State Warriors vs. Milwaukee Bucks live stream
“I’m not satisfied; I expected better”, assured Green, who contributed 21 points, nine rebounds and eight assists to the win.
“We looked like we ran out of gas a little bit”, Warriors interim coach Luke Walton said.
Golden State outscored Milwaukee 36-19 in the fourth quarter. OJ mayo is right and Green should’ve showed his class especially since his team is clearly the better team. “Just respect my teammate as well as we respect you guys, and some things you shouldn’t say in the media”. Green slapped it away and Khris Middleton then pushed Green.
Michael Carter-Williams scored 24 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 20 for the Bucks, who have lost five of six but have been Golden State’s toughest opponent to date.
For all the talk from the Warriors about seeking to avenge their only loss, December 12 at Milwaukee, they spent the first half watching the Bucks sprint to the cup.
Every victory raised the stakes for the Golden State Warriors.
A 43 point-game from Bulls guard Jimmy Butler wasn’t enough to get them across the line as the Pistons’ Andre Drummond dominated the paint in a Herculean 55-minutes that saw the league rebounds leader score 33 points and pull down 21 rebounds, without usual back-up Aron Baynes.
Warriors forward Draymond Green shoots against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
Warriors players felt as though the Bucks were a little to celebratory after handing them their first loss last Saturday.
That MCW has returned to the starting lineup — largely as a result of the Bucks making an adjustment in the absence of Monroe — makes this battle even juicier.
Across town in Manhattan, Arron Afflalo scored 29 points and made all eight of his free throw attempts in the last two minutes to help the New York Knicks to a 107-102 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Given Golden State’s anger at the Bucks’ celebration after the first game and the ill-tempered finish to the second, this has the makings of a great rivalry.
Draymond Green had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his fourth triple-double this season, while Thompson hit 15-of-22 shots and 8-of-13 3-pointers in his first 40-point game this season. We definitely kind of perk up when he’s around.
Curry had 25 points and seven assists in just 30 minutes.
“When we play like this, it puts us in a position to win more games”. They already have ruled him out of Friday’s game against Milwaukee….
The Suns didn’t head into Wednesday looking consistent on offense, and they certainly have been far from finding answers on the defensive end.
“They (the Bucks) came out and wanted a piece of the champs, and we weren’t fighting back”. Security and a few other players got in the middle of it before things calmed down and both teams retreated to their locker rooms.
“We needed to come back and get a win”, Green insisted.
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. “The guys played hard, but the ball did not fall for us”.
