Klay Thompson after loss to Bucks: ‘We beat ourselves’

Milwaukee also snapped the Los Angeles Lakers 33-game winning streak in the 1971-72 season. “We got some stops”, Curry said.

Golden State’s 28-game winning streak, counting the final four regular-season games of last season, came to a halt. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since they set the record for the best start in history at 16-0. Since joining the league in 1968, the Bucks have snapped five winning streaks of 12 games or more, and each team has gone on to win the National Basketball Association championship.

Golden State remain 9.5 games clear in the Pacific Division even after the second-placed Los Angeles Clippers beat the Brooklyn Nets 105-100, Blake Griffin and JJ Redick with 21 points apiece.

Both clubs were playing the back end of consecutive Friday-Saturday contests.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Boston Celtics easily could have mailed it in Saturday night after losing a grueling double-overtime game to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors the night before.

There was a fraction of Bucks fans in attendance tonight with shirts that read 24-1, in regards to the Warriors record, after they hoped their team would beat them tonight. “It reminds me a lot of the way our guys are now”, said Walton, who turned 6 years old during the ’85-86 season and was a fixture at practice before kids were banned. “We knew what they had coming in”. — Walton, when asked if there a sense of relief that the winning streak had ended.

“It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, how they’re playing, it’s only about you, and you go out there and you do it …” You start to believe that. “If you step up, it’s going to be a close game”.

“Now we can focus on what we need to focus on”. Curry had eight turnovers – three of them when he stepped out of bounds in the fourth quarter and overtimes.

“But tonight it didn’t go our way”.

“Obviously nobody wanted to experience that first loss and see how far we could take it but everybody is pretty proud of the accomplishment”.

One night after shooting a season-low 39.3 percent against the Celtics, the Warriors shot 40.9 percent from the floor – their second-lowest total this season.

The Bucks ran as much as they could, converting 10 of 13 shots in transition.

Greg Monroe had 28 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Bucks and Jabari Parker had 19 for the Bucks.

“We will definitely cherish this, because it doesn’t happen often”, center Andrew Bogut said. “We were at home, a packed house”. The Pistons still have some holes – namely a weak bench – but they could win a playoff series or two behind their strong starting lineup, stingy defense and great home record.

Jason Kidd was a 10-time NBA All-Star who finished his career ranked among the top five in assists (12,091), steals (2,684), three-pointers (1,988) and minutes (50,111).

Milwaukee will have Sunday and Monday off before beginning a four-games-in-six-days trip that includes a visit to California, where the Warriors will get a chance to avenge the loss next Friday at Oracle Arena.
