Bucks vs. Warriors: Score, Highlights and Reaction from 2015 Regular Season

It can be a mocking term for amateurs who go too hard in practice and wear themselves out before the race is completed. Apparently, the Warriors were none too pleased at what they considered unsportsmanlike behavior by Carter-Williams and the Bucks. Screw it up and you’ve ruined everything you worked toward. Shooting guard Klay Thompson, who scored 43 points Wednesday in a win over the Phoenix Suns, took a serious tone when revisiting last week’s loss.

Stephen Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green combined to make eight straight shots, including five three-pointers, in the second-quarter flurry.

Detroit Pistons 119, Boston Celtics 116: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope dropped in a career-high 31 points, including two free throws with 14.4 seconds left, Reggie Jackson added 23, and the Pistons (15-12) withstood Isaiah Thomas’ personal-best 38 points to hold off visiting Celtics (14-12).

“There’s nothing wrong with the dunk, but the stare down, trying to talk nasty in the game like that”, Thompson said. “But we were playing at the height of our game in that second and third quarter”.

In Oklahoma, Kevin Durant scored 24 points to lead Oklahoma City to a 106-90 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at the Chesapeake Energy Arena as the Thunder rolled to a sixth consecutive triumph. Jahlil Okafor scored 20 points for the Sixers in their ninth straight loss. It was the most points the Warriors had surrendered in any half this season.

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.

“I know we live in the moment”, Barkley said.

We’re not privy to the specifics of verbal interactions between opposing players on the court, unfortunately. As for his own shooting prowess, he chalked up to getting just enough spacing that he could maneuver for his shot, which the Suns were helpless to stop.

The Warriors cut into a 12-point halftime deficit in the third as the Bucks finally started missing shots.

Curry said the keys for the Warriors to avenge Saturday’s loss in Milwaukee will be to get off to a good start, play better defense and value ball security. The exuberant displays of emotion made by the Bucks (10-17) in the waning moments of that historic win did not go unnoticed by the Golden State players.

He said that the celebration was “nice” but they won’t forget about it, Fox Sports also reported. He did some early, but it’s been a process and he came to us to see if he could play in D-League games to play the perimeter position and get used to it. And that’s the kind of guy you want to have with your franchise who sees the opportunity of the D-League and how it can help him.

The obvious reason is their road-weariness, as they played 7 consecutive games away from home and in their last they lost.

The Warriors have two games marked on their schedule for the next few days: A revenge game against the Milwaukee Bucks at home, which is how a team that’s beating nearly everyone so easily like the Warriors keeps themselves motivated, and a Christmas home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers; a rematch of the National Basketball Association finals, although there couldn’t be a clearer favorite than the Warriors right now heading into that game.
