Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry looks up from the bench during a timeout during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015, in Milwaukee. For example, the * a href=”http://stats.nba.com/league/lineups/?ls=iref:nba:gnav#!/?Season=2015-16&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&GroupQuantity=2&TeamID=1610612744&CF=GROUP_NAME*E*ezeli|GROUP_NAME*E*speights&DateFrom=12%2F12%2F2015&DateTo=12%2F13%2F2015″ target=”_blank” *combination of Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights at the big positions had only appeared together in seven previous games this season.

His team, which normally makes 13 3s a game, was 6 of 26 from behind the arc.
“It’s tough. Nobody wanted to see it come to an end”, Curry said. It is also the 3rd longest win streak of all time, right being the Los Angles Lakers’ 33 wins of the 1971 season and Miami Heat’s 27 wins in 2013 season.
In a odd twist of flashback fate, the Bucks were also the team that ended the Lakers’ streak with a 120-104 victory on January 9, 1972. But Klay Thompson went 4 for 14 and was limited to 12 points, while sixth man Andre Iguodala was 1 for 9 and scored just two points in 28 minutes. Bayless has missed five straight games and six of Milwaukee’s last seven games with a left ankle sprain.
VOTE and tell us which win streak was more impressive, and then COMMENT and tell us why! That’s why it is so hard what these guys have done so far. What i am here to talk about is how the Celtics truly deserve credit for the loss of the Golden State Warriors.
Both clubs were playing the second nights of back-to-backs.
The Bucks controlled the game and came away with a 108-95 win Saturday that brought the crowd to its feet and confetti to be released. He shot 11-for-16 from the floor for 28 points. So speaking as a Milwaukee Buck legend I like seeing such a young team continue to improve.
“We never wavered”, Monroe said.
Every Thursday, we send out the great OnMilwaukee Weekend Preview filled with awesome things to do.
“Losing sucks even if you are 24-1”.
“I was upset. I’m not going to lie”, Smith said of the Warriors” streak ending. Golden State actually led by as much as 28 points, but a spirited rally by the Pacers led by Paul George forced interim coach Luke Walton to check starters back late in the fourth. He added, “It’s nice to know that I got a championship out of it, an MVP season out of it, and hopefully setting up for something better down the line”.
“When you turn on the TV and all you see is Warriors streaking, Warriors making history”. You start to believe that.
The Eastern Conference champions are probably going to get a whole lot better in the next few days. “Now we can focus on what we need to”, he said. “But tonight it didn’t go our way. We ended up with our first loss but we can appreciate what we were able to accomplish”. Riding on such a streak builds a playoff atmosphere to the games somewhere around the double digit win mark, and the Warriors understandably have some relief mixed in with the sour taste of the loss.
