“We’ve got a very competitive team, and we do not like to lose”.

With such desperation to keep the streak alive, Golden State were perhaps moving away from the aspects that had been so pivotal to their success last season. “Friday will be a big game for us”.
Despite the obvious disappointment of seeing the streak come to an end, there was arguably relief within the Warriors camp that they were no longer being targeted by their opposition who were bringing their best with the goal of ending their streak amid what was undoubtedly a draining sequence of games. It sounds like the Bucks are in for something a whole lot worse.
The question is why the Warriors lost for the first time exclusively to the Bucks, who are not a powerhouse in the league, and not to another team who are in fact, better than Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has dropped the first two games of a four-game western swing.
Warriors forward Draymond Green caught it all.
Thompson acknowledged that he could, to a point, understand the joy the Bucks felt in toppling the Warriors.
“That is why they won a championship”, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek praised of the Warriors.
First of all, the unexpected and the unknown, sometimes has more dangers than expected and known conditions and this year’s Milwaukee Bucks are a mystery, because they have ups and downs.
Jordan received two technical fouls after battling Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams for a loose ball.
Like dude, you lost your (starting) spot. “So, it’s not quite common that you should be looking toward someone’s bench yelling”. But I love the intensity.
The meeting took place in Los Angeles while the Bucks were playing the Lakers and Clippers there earlier this week. “They had no problem running and we couldn’t contain them”. Like at the end of the day, it’s basketball.
You poked the bear, Bucks. And now you’re going to pay for it. We didn’t play our best for probably about three straight games.
This win, along with the Cavs’ one, shows that they are in the right direction and it was more their ability to reach the victory rather than the Warriors’ inability to win. “Just (to) give him some balance out there because he’s going to get every team’s greatest look every night”. “Let’s come protect our court.’ It was important to get back in the swing of things”. For some reason, they seem to be obsessed with creating an “us against the world” mentality, that really doesn’t exist.
None of that mattered to the Bucks, however, who evidently enjoyed their victory a little too much.

As a team, Golden State had nothing to gain from their words over the last few days. The Milwaukee Bucks are shooting 35.5 percent from beyond the arc and 77.8 percent from the free throw line.
