Rampaging Warriors cool down Suns to return to winning ways

Indiana Pacers 107, Dallas Mavericks 81: C.J. Miles scored 20 points and Monta Ellis added 13 of his 19 in the pivotal 30-17 third quarter, and the Pacers (15-9) routed the visiting Mavericks (14-12).

Green said he didn’t think the Bucks necessarily knew at the time that they would be playing the Warriors twice in one week.

They weren’t chip shots either…

Ultimately, we’ll have to wait to find that out -the transitive property is a poor arbiter, and the Warriors and Spurs won’t play until January 25. We were trying to do things the right way. He is just as surprised as the rest of us when he gets an array of open looks. “But we weren’t sharp with what we were doing”.

The Bucks have an idea of what is waiting for them when they step inside the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., to face a revenge-minded Warriors team and a hostile crowd.

“Just making the right play and moving the ball”.

There will be more opportunities to get motivated for the Warriors.

The eight point swing took all of 42 seconds, though it felt even shorter than that, like watching a lion devour its prey during a National Geographic special.

Remember when he then proceeded to stare, tauntingly, at Golden State’s bench as he ran back down the court?

As the year began, LeBron James was pulling together an injury-hit Cleveland Cavaliers team in his first season back in his home region after vowing to make the Cavs a champion.

Put simply: Phoenix (11-16) was schooled by Golden State. Dennis would get so many rebounds against that team.

If Milwaukee is to sweep the Warriors in the season series, it will likely have to do so without leading scorer and rebounder Greg Monroe, who had 28 points and 11 rebounds in the 108-95 win against the Warriors. The point guard totaled 17 points, seven assists and five steals against Golden State.

Thompson shot 15 of 22 from the field, but it was Draymond Green who fed him throughout – Green finishing the game with his fourth triple-double of the season – recording 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a sterling performance. Now I’m not saying that that’s our whole team…It ain’t no hard feelings. “These guys haven’t won the championship yet”. That is why their first loss came the other day. They only have to show what they are capable of when they meet with the vigorous sides; their effective displays have already revealed their merit. Golden State catching that L was a result of the schedule more than anything else; the contest in Milwaukee came at the end of a six-game road trip, and was on the second night of a back-to-back set following a double overtime win in Boston.

“It’s a lot of fun”, Curry said of his Splash Brother’s prolific night.
