Even though they’re playing at home, the Golden State Warriors are still reeling from suffering their first loss of the season against the Milwaukee Bucks, and if the Suns can find a way to capitalize on that, they just might, against all odds, squeeze out their twelfth win of the season. Oklahoma City allowed 100 or more points in 11 of their first 14 games. Walton ran a one-hour workout created to let the players sweat a bit and get back into their home routine.

The Golden State Warriors have a knack for seeing things before they happen.
“I just knew if I was going to get those shots the whole game, I was going to knock them down”, Thompson said of his early misses. Then there’s Draymond Green, an athlete with an alpha dog attitude that comes without the “I have to take every shot” Kobe-like mentality. It did, in my opinion, change the odds for the game the next night against the Bucks.
“We’re continuing to work toward being a championship team and that requires us getting better than we were previous year”, interim coach Luke Walton said.
With that experience, Steve Kerr’s guidance with this team will probably be the most critical piece in breaking the 20-year-old record. Curry hit only 4 of 13 field goals in the first half.
There were so many buckets, in fact, Thompson couldn’t remember that exact one. Who, if so, will emerge to challenge Curry this season?
That was the Random Bounce. The whistle blew. Curry raised his hand, pointing up to the spot where the ball hit the back of the backboard. Curry piled in 28 points, seven rebounds, and five assists. After confirmation from his partners, McCutcheon emphatically signaled to the scorer’s table that the foul was indeed on Curry. Curry was five feet away from Crowder when the whistle blew.
“They’re 24-1”, Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. The Suns might have caught the Warriors at the exact wrong time, suffering a 128-103 ruination on Wednesday that was worse than the score would indicate.
“At a certain point it kind of became about just winning the game….” The Warriors’ former teammate, David Lee, scored the last six points of that run. It’s the start of a 5 game home stand and there’s no place we’d rather be than at the Roaracle! Walton expects him to start against the Suns. The 27-game undefeated streak that they went on was great, but it wasn’t as pleasing to watch as the Warriors are.
Thompson exploded for 27 points in the third quarter to turn what was once a competitive game into a blowout. It is just about how we’re playing.

For weeks, with each Warriors win, more and more bettors began to back the Dubs. As we were making our way out of the stadium after the game, on three different occasions a boisterous ” Go Bucks Go” chant broke out on the stairs and in the atrium, which was echoed by almost the entire crowd making their exit.
“I think it’s harder on the road, and when you’re constantly winning, to focus on those little details”. In the NBA’s fifth smallest market, those are impressive numbers, numbers that Bucks fans should strive to get back to.
So Golden State will be without him again Wednesday at Oracle Arena against Phoenix when it plays for the first time since its record-breaking 24-0 start to the season was snapped at Milwaukee on Saturday in the final game of a seven-game trip. The very thing that garnered the Warriors so much praise was the very thing, perhaps, weighing them down.

If you bet $100 on the Warriors money line in all 25 of their games so far, you’d only be up around $500. They also lead the National Basketball Association in assists per game with 28.6.
