On Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors finally lost a game, coming up short in Milwaukee after an exhausting double-overtime victory in Boston the night before. The Bucks may have celebrated just a little too much, since then they’ve been spotted partying hard at nightclubs, and immediately dropped two consecutive games against the Clippers and Lakers.
After their loss, Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson expressed their discontent with the way the Bucks celebrated their victory–which, in the grand scheme of things, didn’t mean much considering the Bucks are still cellar dwellers in the Eastern Conference–and Thompson specifically said he felt Milwaukee could’ve won with more class.
Draymond Green added a more specific comment, regarding Michael Carter-Williams dunking the ball once the Bucks all but had the game in the bag, and staring down the Warriors bench as he retreated back up the court. “Michael Carter-Williams getting a dunk at the end of the game and looking at our bench like, ‘Dude you lost your spot’.” Earlier this season, Carter-Williams–who came over to Milwaukee in a trade with Philadelphia last season–was benched in favor of Jerryd Bayless after a rough start to the season. Green continued, “So, it’s not quite common that you should be looking toward someone’s bench yelling. You’ve got some ground to make up.”
The Warriors will play the Bucks tomorrow night (December 18), at Oracle Arena in Golden State.
