“Michael Carter-Williams getting a dunk at the end of the game and looking at our bench like, ‘Dude you lost your spot, ‘” Green said on KNBR radio (via Sherwood Strauss).
There’s no doubt that they’re going to be able to build on a performance like Wednesday’s win over Phoenix.
“We’ve got to bring the fight to them”, Bucks forward Khris Middleton said. “I would have been happy to break a big streak like that too”.
“It was a great win for us”, Carter-Williams said. For some reason, they seem to be obsessed with creating an “us against the world” mentality, that really doesn’t exist. That’s part of the game. “I don’t know how you stop it”.
Leading the league with a career-high 32.3 point-per-game average, Curry is revolutionizing the game by taking 11.4 threes per game and making more than five – on a team that now sits at 24-1. The Bucks have lost 11 straight on the road and won’t have top scorer Greg Monroe for a third consecutive game due to a Grade I MCL sprain in his left knee.
Upon returning home following a grueling seven-game trip, the Warriors improved their record to 25-1 and pleased the crowd behind Thompson as he rebounded with a 15-for-22 shooting night.
Walton said that wasn’t exactly the case. “We did it pretty decent for 18 minutes but you have to do it for all 48 minutes because they put them up quickly”.
Backup forwards Mirza Teletovic and T.J. Warren had 24 and 19 points respectively for the visitors and point guard Brandon Knight added 17. They were the aggressors, but you’ve got to give them credit for doing that. “Just because these guys are beating up on inferior competition, don’t overreact now”.
Stephen Curry, a player who was so quick to clarify that he and Draymod Green weren’t laughing at the Utah Jazz after narrowly defeating them a couple of weeks back, made no secret of how he was amused by the experience on Saturday night in Milwaukee. They want, figuratively, the sight of Milwaukee blood on the floor.
Golden State Warriors’ interim head coach Luke Walton after shootaround at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday, December 11, 2015. It turns out that the one-loss Warriors look a lot like the team that opened at 24-0. Then there was Carter-Williams’ antics that raised eyebrows. The Warriors have won 29 straight in Oakland in regular-season play.

For Warriors, there is no reason for disappointment, as they still have the best chance to complete back-to-back domination in the National Basketball Association, provided that they won’t fall apart after their first loss in 2015/16.
