Doc Rivers Remarks On Kobe Bryant Leading NBA All-Star Game Voting
James, who is in his 13th pro season, is seeking his 12th consecutive start in an All-Star Game, which is virtually guaranteed. It does make for a odd scene, Bryant laughing and enjoying himself even as the Lakers lose by 35 points.
Six days after the Bucks stunned Golden State in Milwaukee, ending the Warriors’ flawless start, they had to face them again in California. The Bucks managed three subsequent ties, the last at 108-all with 2:28 to go on an interior hoop by center Greg Monroe, before the decisive seven-point Warriors run that gave them command.

Let’s check out some of the notable players and stats from the game so we can determine why things played out the way they did. The Saints finished the contest with 69 yards and a 3.8 average on only 18 attempts with a long of 17 yards.
Mayo said he was standing up for Carter-Williams. “At the end of the day, he felt that Michael [Carter-Williams] did something that wasn’t much class. He went even further with class speaking on our team situation”.
A section of the Bucks’ fans wore green T-shirts stamped with the message “24-1” when the Warriors’ unbeaten start was snapped at 24 games last Saturday, and Bay Area company Oaklandish on Friday responded by adding a loss to the Bucks’ record, putting gold print of “10-18” on blue T’s.
“We’re looking forward to it”, Thompson said of the quick rematch with the Bucks today.
After allowing Milwaukee to shoot 59.5 percent in the first half, the Warriors held the Bucks to 38.1 percent in the third quarter and 32.1 percent in the fourth.
“We were trying to hit home runs and shooting the fireballs from deep, things like that”, center Festus Ezeli said.
Since the win, Monroe has missed two games with a sprained left knee, including a Bucks loss to the cellar-dwelling Los Angeles Lakers. And the Suns could only muster 37 points combined, which was nine less than the Warriors had in the third quarter alone.
Point guard Michael Carter-Williams had 24 points for the Bucks, who forged double-digit leads on two occasions before suffering a fifth loss in their last six games. “They made plays in the end and that’s why we lost”.
Thompson shot 15 of 22 from the field, but it was Draymond Green who fed him throughout – Green finishing the game with his fourth triple-double of the season – recording 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a sterling performance. Golden State, the NBA’s best team, is out for revenge. “Just respect my teammate, as well as we respect you guys”. But it’s also a technique used by teams where they consciously decide to row as fast and as hard as possible for the first half or three-fourths and then essentially let your built-up forward momentum carry you to victory.
“You have to do everything right against these guys”, said Hornacek. Showing no hesitation after the war of words leading up to the game, MCW shook off an early flagrant foul from Andrew Bogut to hit 4/5 and score a team-high 13 points to help the Bucks to a 36-33 lead after one.
Carter-Williams had 17 points in the latest defeat and has averaged 17.7 in a three-game stretch, a result of his increased role with backcourt mates Greivis Vasquez and Jerryd Bayless sidelined by ankle injuries.
“Draymond and O.J. had been talking all game, just common trash talk that happens, and then they were settling up”, Curry said.
