Warriors streak ends, Bucks win 108-95

In the process, the Warriors scored a season low after coming from back-to-back road games that included a double-overtime win over the Celtics the night before. “We got some stops”. “Obviously, it was nice to get the win”.

Stephen Curry stressed the importance of focusing on the big picture after the Golden State Warriors’ incredible winning streak finally came to an end. The NBA’s longest winning streak is 33 by the 1971-72 Lakers – and it was also snapped by Milwaukee.

The Warriors were taxed, trying to become the first team to complete an undefeated road trip of at least seven games and trying to do so after playing a double-overtime game the night before. “It’s been that way pretty much every road game we’ve been to”. “The record, the history, the team – it doesn’t happen often so we will cherish it. Who knows?”

It wasn’t the team you expected to beat the champs. Jae Crowder’s two free throws with 6.6 seconds remaining made it 96-93 and, after Charlotte guard Nic Batum badly missed a tying 3-point attempt with 3.6 seconds remaining, Evan Turner sealed it with a layup with two seconds left. He hit four 3’s and finished with 18 points.

“Even if you’re 24-1, losing still sucks”. “But that’s how superstars are in this league”.

Former Bucks player Shaun Livingston said there could be some positives with the streak ending.

Steve Blake had 11 points for Detroit and Andre Drummond chipped in eight points and 11 rebounds. “It’s something they did previous year, and they won a championship like that”, he said.

Monroe was 11 of 16, including a three-point play with 2:51 left for a 12-point Milwaukee lead. Naturally the spotlight will shine on Golden State the most, but this may be drawing unnecessary expectations for the Warriors. But you have to give them credit.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Golden State Warriors walked slowly off the Bradley Center floor, exchanging handshakes with the victorious Milwaukee Bucks on the way back to their locker room. “We’ll dig deep for tomorrow”. The 76ers 14-game streak from 1982-83 team, Spurs 13-game streak from 2006-07, Celtics 12-game streak from 1973-74 and the Mavericks 12-game streak from 2010-11. The Warriors outscored the Nets 10-2 in the extra 5 minutes.

Because their opponent were the Warriors, they did indeed catch up several times throughout the course of the game, but for one of the first times this season Steph Curry and Co couldn’t match their opponents’ energy.

“It looked like they enjoyed playing together”.

But Iguodala said it feels like old times. “I remember them having to change the rules because of me and my brothers”. It was a lot of fun.

Walton said Larry Bird was his childhood hero.

Klay Thompson, who sat out Friday’s game with a sprained ankle, was cleared to play and tapped to start.

In the winning-time moments of the fourth quarter, they showed little except fatigue.
