The Golden State Warriors are on the brink of history.

The Lakers benefited from an uncharacteristically sloppy Warriors’ team that turned the ball over with regularity.
The Los Angeles Lakers have pulled off the biggest upset in the history of the National Basketball Association.
It was veteran superstar Kobe Bryant’s final game with the Golden State Warriors and he had a special present for Klay Thompson. We need to see consecutive losses before determining that.
Sophomore guard Jordan Clarkson scored a game-high 25 points while rookie D’Angelo Russell added 21.
Nick Young and Brandon Bass each had 13 points, and Huertas had his solid game.
Jackson scored 40 points when Detroit beat Portland on November 8 previous year, including 26 in the fourth quarter.
“I joke with Steph all the time that this team is full of millennials, and millennials can’t focus”, Kerr said. “We had zero attention span out there, at either end of the floor”.
“And I think he’s the one that’s going to have to create that conflict, that tension in the locker room, because if they don’t have that, then in the playoffs, then they are going to be in trouble”. Curry missed nine of his 10 three-point attempts, and the Warriors made a season-low four three-pointers and shot a season low 13.3 percent from long range. The Warriors are one of the best teams in the league at not making the same mistake twice and they will likely keep their foot on the pedal from now on.
Stephen Curry finished the game with just 18 points in the score sheet on a night the Warriors were terrible offensively.
Even on offense, it was clearly more than just the “Russell and Clarkson Show”. “I can’t really say what he was saying, but it was very aggressive”.
But that, a Antetokounmpo dunk over Serge Ibaka and a Parker-to-Antetokounmpo alley-up were about the only highlights of a first half that saw the Bucks shoot a paltry 33 per cent and go 1-for-11 from beyond the arc.
“It was just one of those nights you want to avoid at all costs, but it happened, and we’ll be alright”.

Golden State is being cautious with Andre Iguodala (left hamstring tightness), and there is a chance he sits Monday for the third time in four games.
