Besides his strong, accurate shooting, there is another thing that makes him one of the best in the league.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors square off Friday night at the Oracle Arena.

“It got a little ugly there”, Bogut said.

They just want to prove they deserve to be at the highest level and with this win they made it, plus having a legend as a coach, adds more prestige to a team that theoretically is weaker than most of the others.

If you catch the Warriors at the end of a seven-game road trip, on the second leg of a two-city, two-timezone back-to-back that followed a frantically paced double-overtime contest in which two of Golden State’s starters were out injured, and you play your best game of the season by a wide margin, you might – just maybe – be able to beat them. We got a bucket on it, too.

Then Thompson turned his attention to the Warriors’ next game, which he said had been circled on the calendar.

“We’re looking forward to it”, Thompson said of the quick rematch with the Bucks today.

Jimmy Butler scored 24 points in a 98-85 win for the Chicago Bulls against the Memphis Grizzlies, and elsewhere the Indiana Pacers beat the Dallas Mavericks 107-81, the New Orleans Pelicans overcame the Utah Jazz 104-94, and the Orlando Magic were 113-98 victors at the expense of the Charlotte Hornets. “But we were playing at the height of our game in that second and third quarter”. I’d have been fired up too, so we definitely remember that. “That’s what we needed at that point”.

Arron Afflalo had 22 points and seven assists as the Knicks won their third straight.

“Those are things we don’t appreciate. We competed. If we play with that kind of energy every time we take the court, we’ll win a lot more games”.

Chris Paul had 27 points and 10 assists for Los Angeles. The calls stemmed from a battle over a loose ball with Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams. Former Warriors player Sonny Parker, who is the father of Milwaukee F Jabari Parker, got a nice ovation when shown on the scoreboard in a Warriors shirt and Bucks hat. The Warriors hope to get SF Harrison Barnes (ankle) back before the end of the five-game homestand that began Wednesday. Curry hit a 3-pointer in the opening minute to extend his streak to 100 straight regular-season games with a 3-pointer. While the Warriors had the first quality in their loss against the Bucks, the circus of the streak and fatigue of the road drip deprived them of the final two.

Tonight, the Golden State Warriors are aiming for their 26th win of the season.

“They came out, they wanted a piece of the champs and we weren’t fighting back”, Walton said.

“I just knew if I was going to get those shots all game, was going to knock them down”, he said.
