The Golden State Warriors — sans Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Chris Paul, Gary Payton II, and Moses Moody — gave the full-strength Milwaukee Bucks a good fight. But in the end, superior talent and fresher legs won out.
A loss is a loss. The sting is magnified when you consider that it’s their 21st of the season out of 39 games. That doesn’t help their situation when it comes to getting closer toward a play-in spot, let alone an outright playoff seed. There were moments within the game that could’ve easily went in their favor, if not for a couple of unfortunate bounces of the ball, good looks that didn’t go in, and other missed opportunities.
