This is part of an awakening for Thompson after starting off the season rather slow in his team’s historic first 24 games.

Curry, who is usually not as boisterous as his teammates, didn’t take any shots at MCW, but made it clear that this matchup with the Bucks wasn’t just any game. “I raised my hand. We’ve got to go there and hold our own”.
Thompson’s excellent night was a little more direct in its impressiveness.
Oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI clearly believe the Warriors will fix any issues they had in their first meeting with the Bucks, because Golden State is a 19-point favorite for tonight’s game.
Mirza Teletovic scored 24 points off the bench for the Suns, whose poor showing sent the sellout crowd to the exits midway through the fourth.
When you’ve scored an National Basketball Association record 37 points in a quarter, dropping 27 in a period probably isn’t a big deal to you.
The Milwaukee Bucks could use a victory after losing six of their last nine games.
But hey, the guy drains the ball from 33 feet like nobody else. “You never know in this game”, Wade said.
“That was the height of our game”, Warriors coach Luke Walton said of a stretch that included a 46-point third quarter. The Warriors’ 11-0 home start is one win shy of the all-time franchise best of 12-0 accomplished in the 1975-76 season…. “Friday will be a big game for us”.
Golden State won its eighth in a row at home against Phoenix, fifth straight overall and 13th in 16. Including playoffs, Golden State (25-1) hasn’t scored fewer than 90 at home in 70 straight outings.
After torching the Indiana Pacers for 39 points in 34 minutes on December 8, things began to turn in the opposite direction for Warriors guard Klay Thompson. “We remember what happened less than a week ago”.
I don’t think the Bucks realized what they did Saturday when they beat the Warriors in Milwaukee. Because the Warriors are so much better than the competition, they were able to get away with it. They were the aggressors, but you’ve got to give them credit for doing that. “They’re keeping everybody involved”. But, the Warriors, as painful as it was the loss for them, quickly bounce back like a real champion would do walloping and just venting out every frustration on the hapless Phoenix Suns which visited the Bay Area on Wednesday. The Warriors outscored the Suns by 42 points in his 21 minutes on the court. Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony scored a double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds, falling one assist shy of a triple-double.
Since the win, Monroe has missed two games with a sprained left knee, including a Bucks loss to the cellar-dwelling Los Angeles Lakers.

Then there was Green, who after being gracious immediately after the game found some things to say as the week went on.
