Golden State Warriors Winning Streak Ends [NBA News & Rumors]
Which means that Golden State still has something to shoot for and the Lakers record of winning 33 games in a row is still in tack for now.
“What we are trying to do is be an National Basketball Association championship team”.
The Celtics had two chances to win it at the end of regulation, tied 103-all, but Shaun Livingston blocked Isaiah Thomas’ attempt.
For perhaps the first time all season, Curry looked human as he made just two of eight three-point attempts. Perhaps most notably, Golden State did all of these things without their head coach, Steve Kerr, who has been out all season so far while recovering from back surgeries.
Parker was extremely active in 28 minutes and Antetokounmpo posted his first career triple-double (11 points, 12 rebounds, career-best 10 assists).
The warrior’s finished their consecutive win streak with 28 games. Iguodala scored 13 with 10 boards and Festus Ezeli had 12 and 12 for Golden State, which was playing without injured Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes. During introductions, the Celtics rooters struggled to drown out the cheers for Curry. But you give credit to those guys for competing and doing their assignments.
“We never wavered”, Monroe said.
After the game, Golden State fans remained long after the final buzzer, cheering Curry when he went to the locker room after his postgame, on-court TV interview. “We’ll dig deep for tomorrow”. “I would be cheating the situation, I would be cheating the progress by worrying about a Christmas Day game when we’re not there yet”, said the four-time MVP who put up astronomical numbers against the Warriors during the finals.
OVERTIME: Golden State has only needed overtime in one other game during the win streak, against Brooklyn on November 14. The record for the longest unbeaten run is now held by Los Angeles Lakers.
“There was a lot of excitement around this game and coach [Jason] Kidd said one of the reasons why we pulled off the upset was the environment and our home crowd”, Bucks vice president of marketing Dustin Godsey said. “I remember them having to change the rules because of me and my brothers”. Bayless has missed five straight games and six of Milwaukee’s last seven games with a left ankle sprain.
