Can Bucks Build Off Stunning Victory Over Warriors?

Four times during their NBA-record 24-game winning streak to start this season, the Golden State Warriors have rallied from 10-point deficits; twice, they’ve accomplished that task in the fourth quarter.

Golden State still has an absurd 14.1 point differential and leads the race for the league’s best record by four games; an incredibly large margin considering the Spurs have won 20 of their first 25 games.

Golden State will have to win at least 49 of its final 57 games to pass those Bulls, a winning percentage of. His Bucks coming in with 15 loses, stopped the Warriors historic streak as they tried to catch the Los Angeles Lakers 37 straight wins from 1971-72 season.

The Warriors trailed by as many as 13 points in the third quarter and closed the gap to three entering the final frame, but the Bucks had too much pep in their step on both ends for the defending champions to mount a complete comeback.

Golden State, which averages 13 3-pointers a night, was just 6 of 26 from behind the arc.

The bee’s knees: Warriors swingman Andre Iguodala played Saturday, a night after logging a season-high 44 minutes in a double-overtime victory against the Celtics. Golden State was poised to become the first of those teams to come home 7-0, but you could see the gears starting to grind. The Warriors are the best team in the NBA and all they are doing is playing some of the basketball the NBA has ever seen. A raucous Bucks cheering section proved prophetic after wearing green “24-1” shirts to the game. They beat the Warriors last night to end their winning streak. “We showed some spurts to get back into the game; we got some stops”.

“I just told the guys that now we can have a regular season”, forward Draymond Green said in recounting his talk to teammates in the locker room after the loss Saturday night to the Milwaukee Bucks. Golden State seems locked in and focused, however.

Steph Curry was the leading scorer with 28 points.

“We didn’t have it tonight”, Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said. That stat doesn’t leap off the page the same way that 25 wins or any of Curry’s gaudy numbers do, but going undefeated on a road trip that began back in November would have been truly impressive.

He was 11 of 16, including a three-point play with 2:51 left for a 12-point lead.

Warriors: C Andrew Bogut, who was drafted first overall by the Bucks in 2005, finished with two points.

“I just tried to make sure I made the right play whether it was attacking or finding my teammates if they came and helped”.

The Warriors lost this game with the Bucks only having nine players available, as Damien Inglis, Chris Copeland, Tyler Ennis and Miles Plumlee didn’t play tonight.

Houston’s James Harden scored 30 points, leading the Rockets to a runaway 126-97 win that condemned the Los Angeles Lakers to a 13th loss in 14 games.
