Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, recuperating from back surgery and sidelined since the start of the National Basketball Association season, said Thursday he hopes to be back on the bench by early January. O.J. Mayo and Michael Carter-Williams each scored 17 points for the Bucks. They have lost 11 straight on the road. He scored 27 of his season-high 43 points in the third quarter and the Golden State Warriors responded after their first loss following a record 24-0 start by beating the Phoenix Suns 128-103 on Wednesday night. “And it’s like, “All right, you’re going to see us next Friday and in our building, too.’ …” When Green pushed his arm away, the Bucks’ Khris Middleton moved in and shoved him.

“We’re looking forward to it, man”, he added. He has played a huge role in the teams success in this years campaign.
“I think the guys are giving the effort but it’s another level of effort we have to get out of them”, Hornacek said.
The Warriors survived despite allowing 70 points in the first half, the most any team has scored in any half against them this season — and the most Milwaukee has score in any half this season. “We’re trying to compete for a championship”. Green, a defensive force all game, pumped in 11 points, six boards, seven assists, and three steals during those two quarters.
“We played that way in the Finals the last three games”, Barnes said.
Thompson and teammate Draymond Green, apparently, took umbrage over how the Bucks’ acted after the victory, particularly the antics of Bucks point guard Michael Carter-Williams, ESPN wrote.
Curry and Thompson each hit a pair of threes, and Green dropped in a fifth during the run.
Klay Thompson added 27 points and Green had 21 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
The latest brush fire between the teams came after the Bucks had already ended one Warriors winning streak and threatened to stop their home winning streak at Oracle Arena, now at 30 games. Orlando has made a 3-pointer in 677 straight games dating to 2007, a streak that was in jeopardy until Fournier’s shot. They also have a 20.8 percent chance of winning 73 games and an 11.5 percent chance of winning 74. After knocking off the best team in the league, the Bucks suffered a 113-95 loss to one of the worst at the Lakers as the things they did well on Saturday – perimeter defense – abandoned the team, and Wednesday’s 103-90 loss to the Clippers did not go any better.
“But we know when we come home we still have to bring intensity and be sharp and even more focused than we are on the road because people want to come in here and defeat us”.
Warriors: C Andrew Bogut did not return after the first quarter because an injured back…. “We did it pretty decent for 18 minutes but you have to do it for all 48 minutes because they put them up quickly”.

“They took the time out to waste money on the T-shirt, which is cool”, Bucks coach Jason Kidd said.
