Asked whether that was what the altercation was mostly about, Green said, “Once again, I’m not going to go into what he said, what you think he may have said, he may have said or may not have said, but no man is going to touch my head”. “Winning is great, but there’s a way to win”. “The reason we were able to (win a title) last season is because we were tops in the league on defense”.

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. Green scored eight consecutive points on a three-point play, a layup and a 3-pointer, and Curry made all three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point shot in an 11-point flurry that produced a 100-100 tie with 6:08 to go.
The Warriors tend to use anything to give them motivation, like in this case the Bucks celebrating. “We’re a long way past just beating the Milwaukee Bucks in December”. “We know when we get stops and push the ball, they couldn’t keep up”. Steph Curry, outplayed by Milwaukee’s Michael Carter-Williams for most of the night, did enough in the second half to achieve narrow decision in the battle of point guards.
