Friday NBA Betting Report: Warriors seek revenge on Bucks

Golden State recorded its third consecutive home win over the Bucks despite hitting just nine of its 26 3-point attempts. It led to this exchange between Green and Mayo. Bucks C Greg Monroe was given the thumbs-up to return from a two-game absence after testing his sore left knee about an hour before the game….

Scoring milestone adds to the legend of Dirk Nowitzki
He has 15 double-doubles thus far, including Monday’s win over the Chicago Bulls and Wednesday night’s close loss to the Mavs. The Nets had six players in double figures, but it wasn’t enough offset Dallas, which also got 22 points from Nowitzki.

“I spoke to him (Green) on it”, Carter-Williams said.

During Golden State’s long flight home from Wisconsin late Saturday, Walton could finally take a breath and reflected on the remarkable start his team had before the Warriors’ unbeaten run ended. “We’re trying to compete for a championship”. The two then traded words, and Mayo touched the back of Green’s head.

This marked Kim’s first party appearance since giving birth to North’s little brother, Saint West, earlier this month. The last was the 2013 shot David LaChapelle card, which saw the family take their tradition to new heights.

Four Bucks players – Giannis Antetokounmpo, Michael Carter-Williams, Khris Middleton and Jabari Parker – scored in double figures by halftime. Security and a few other players got in the middle of it before things calmed down and both teams retreated to their locker rooms.

“I’m not satisfied because I thought we should have been better”, Green said.

He was the first to publicly jab the Milwaukee Bucks for how they celebrated snapping the Warriors’ winning streak last Saturday – opening the door for guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to pile on the opinion.

“There are different ways of getting your point across rather than going to the media bashing one of our brothers”, Mayo said, via Yahoo’s Marc J. Spears. Until then, there’s a very good chance we’re going to see them building up another streak, as the loss against the Bucks served to do one thing: Refocus a team that slightly started to miss some of their notes in this magnificent basketball symphony so far this season, making them perhaps more unsafe than before. But it did seem as though Golden State was playing in the NBA Finals every time it hit the floor.

Neither Thompson (43 points) nor Steph Curry (25 points) played in the fourth quarter, Draymond Green had a triple double (16 points, 11 boards, 10 assists), and the Warriors rolled, 128-103, in a game in which they led by as many as 41 points.

So, it’s okay to celebrate if you win often, but if they’re harder to come by the team should just move on and go about their business?

Green scored eight points in a span of 1:06 to cut Milwaukee’s lead to 100-97. What you think he said, he may not have said or may have said. The Trail Blazers (11-17), who play on Sunday in Miami, lost their second consecutive game. I just happened to get a lot of great looks. “That’s what we needed at that point”.

The Bucks have proven themselves to be one of the only teams who are able to stand up against the Warriors and they were the dominating force in the first three quarters of the game. The Warriors shot 48.3% for field goals, but were held at 34.6% at the three-point line.

“We should have been better”, he said. “They made plays in the end and that’s why we lost”.

Point guard Michael Carter-Williams had 24 points for the Bucks. Curry, who had been sluggish until the final stretch of the contest, scored seven points in the final five minutes and assisted on Andre Iguodala’s dagger 3-pointer from the corner, which gave the Warriors a five-point lead with 1:21 remaining in the game.
