Game Recap: Warriors enact revenge against Milwaukee
The Warriors have scored early in many of their games this season and it has rewarded them, according to Bleacher Report However there is one team that is slowly but surely becoming a possible threat to the Warriors. Green’s 8-0 run to pulled the Warriors within three with 6:38 remaining, and Stephen Curry closed the gap and set up the Warriors for the win. “We started the second half and I think we had five turnovers in those first three minutes”. With the bench unit starting the second quarter for the Warriors, the Bucks maintained and built upon their lead. “We use our length on the defensive end and on the offensive end and we try to make it as tough as possible for them”.
Warriors forward Draymond Green and Bucks guard O.J. Mayo got into a minor physical altercation that resulted in several other players, coaches and referees stepping in to assure nothing bigger happened.
Green pushed away Mayo’s arm before getting into a bit of a shoving match with the Bucks’ Khris Middleton.
“I just knew if I was going to get those shots all game, was going to knock them down”, he said.
Milwaukee sent shock waves throughout the league by ending the Warriors’ 28-game regular-season winning streak with Saturday’s 108-95 victory.
Mayo said he was standing up for Carter-Williams.
Continued Thompson: “Obviously a team that gave us our one in the loss column, and we felt they could have won with a little more class”. But it did seem as though Golden State was playing in the NBA Finals every time it hit the floor.
Thompson had 27 in the third quarter alone. We got a bucket on it, too.
Mirza Teletovic led the Suns with 24 points off the bench while top scorer Eric Bledsoe was held to six points on 3-for-12 shooting – the first time all season he scored in single digits.
“They did a great job on us”, Walton said. I’m just trying to get my team going’. “I mean we had 58 points”.
Instead he finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, just missing a triple-double.
“They hit shots and the tide turned”, Bucks coach Jason Kidd said. “He was yelling at Steve, and Steve kind of leans over to us and says, ‘We’re good now”.
Magic 113, Hornets 98: Channing Frye had a season-high 17 points and all five starters scored in double figures to help Orlando rout Charlotte. The previous time they played at Oracle was 18 days ago. From there, however, the Bucks would close out the frame on a 12-4 run to take a 36-33 lead into the second quarter.
Since the win, Monroe has missed two games with a sprained left knee, including a Bucks loss to the cellar-dwelling Los Angeles Lakers. They shot 60 percent in the half as they easily picked apart Golden State’s defense with the highest-scoring first half against the Warriors since Oklahoma City scored 71 on January 17, 2014.
“(The Bucks) came out and wanted a piece of the champs and we weren’t fighting back. More importantly, the Bucks once again didn’t look intimidated by a Warrior team that had all the motivation in the world to prove last Saturday’s loss in Milwaukee was a fluke.
