Young Bucks hope to build on big win over streaking Warriors
Fans of the 2015 NBA Championship team Golden State Warriors were all hoping for the winning streak to last longer and eventually claim the record held by the LA Lakers of 1971-1972, despite the injury sustained by Klay Thompson with his sprained ankle, as previously reported. Boston’s Jae Crowder grabbed the ball after it bounced, and he went up for a shot. Some things Golden State needs to focus on during this five-game schedule at home is getting their key players like Harrison Barnes back. Curry piled in 28 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
“At a certain point it kind of became about just winning the game….” He watched the game on television in the locker room….
Since the Warriors ultimately prevailed, little attention was paid to the Random Bounce and the Obvious Missed Call. “We have to take our game to the next level”.
If Green was assessed the foul, it would have been his fourth as well, and it’s likely Walton would have taken him out.
Last week: 1 – It finally happened – the Warriors lost a game.
Well, the Warriors found their way to the team’s downtown Oakland practice facility Monday – a small victory, considering they hadn’t seen it for half a month.
Thompson exploded for 27 points in the third quarter to turn what was once a competitive game into a blowout.
The Warriors haven’t just been winning; they’ve also been covering, going 16-8-1 against the spread to this point.
For weeks, with each Warriors win, more and more bettors began to back the Dubs.
“Obviously it doesn’t feel great to lose but it was a good time to reflect on what our guys had just done and what they accomplished, ” Walton said. “We accomplished it, but now we have to make sure we don’t drop off and give a game away now just because we broke this record”. “… We all know how to win, but there were a few games where we didn’t necessarily get better. We’ll get back to our principles of playing fast but playing under control, being patient, looking for the best shot, not forcing anything”.
We have seen several big name players showcase their talents and skills this season but as far as the NBA MVP race goes, it appears that one man is well above the rest. Klay’s hot streak burned brightest when he was guarded by Suns rookie Devin Booker, a shooter in Thompson’s mold, who paid a steep price for his education on Wednesday.
In its first game at Oracle Arena in 18 days, Golden State warmed up with a big run stretching from the second quarter to the third.
Westgate SuperBook basketball oddsmaker Jeff Sherman said action has been consistently lopsided on the Warriors money line, especially when they’re on the road. The Warriors will not only beat the 1996 Chicago Bulls’ 72-game record, they’ll do it easily. “I could see them in the book, still holding onto their tickets”. Going undefeated was never a possibility and yet it seemed that was the expectation placed on them.
