Bucks end Warriors' record National Basketball Association run

They're chasing teams and players they can't ever play, numbers and records compiled against competition different from who they're facing and reputations that can no longer be sullied or questioned by the latest off-night or shooting slump. It can also make the reads more hard for the Warriors offense, clogging up the normal passing lanes that are open and messing with the IQ of Golden State's playmakers. Those were the ones with bold white numbers that read "24-1". Coincidentally, this is also the first game the Warriors didn't score at least a 100 points. A raucous Bucks cheering section proved prophetic after wearing green "24-1" shirts to the game. Milwaukee played inspired and got up for this game, and their defensive principles that worked last season were able to confuse a exhausted Warriors team.

Regarding The Bucks stopping the Warriors, the people of Milwaukee have got to be proud of their young team as they are winning significant games.

"It happens", Kidd said. The Bucks ran their offense through him from both the elbow and the block, where sets created to free shooters often dissolved into successful low-post opportunities for the skilled ox. Klay then takes a tough shot thanks in large part to Giannis' long arms. The San Antonio Spurs have the best defense in the National Basketball Association and with their main players growing older, that is unexpected.

Before ​a sold​-​out ​crowd of 18,717 fans at the ​BMO Harris Bradley Center, the Milwaukee Bucks upset Golden State 108-95, ending ​the Warriors' ​historic 24-0 streak to start the season. The recently had their 28-game winning streak snapped by the Milwaukee Bucks, but still remain on pace to end with the best record of all time and break the Chicago Bulls' 72-10 record.

There are plenty of factors that went into why the Warriors lost that game in Milwaukee on Saturday night. As Curry pointed out earlier on the road trip, winning has never been a burden to this team.

Golden State's undefeated streak finally ended. The Cavaliers are making some headlines with their inconsistent play, but there would be a whole lot more criticism for Cleveland if it were not for the Warriors historic start that we are all privileged to witness.

The Bucks are 10-15 and still looking up at most of the Eastern Conference but the victory Saturday showed they are capable of much more. (Not many catch Green asleep on a baseline cut, but Parker did it a couple of times.) He held his own defending Curry pick-and-rolls, too, moving laterally without giving the greatest shooter alive any cushion to fire away. Maybe they will get lucky like the Lakers did when they got Magic or when the Bucks got me.

Carter-Williams continued his strong play off the bench (he had a team-leading plus-22 plus-minus rating) and punctuated the victory with a huge dunk in the fourth quarter. Also, now they come home to play five games over the next 16 days. Something tells us that Kobe's still got one or two legendary performances left in him. They're resting guys on back-to-backs, limiting minutes whenever possible and continually tinkering with lineups and combinations.
