Milwaukee took care of the Warriors early in this one. With each team missing key players, it’s unlikely Golden State will be losing any sleep, but it is the latest reminder that the Bucks top gear is very, very good.

Stephen Curry: “We always talk about breaking this into three seasons. Getting off to a good start, and waiting for Klay and Wise to get back. In this period we’re in right now, we have to make those adjustments, and continue to try to get better…Then make a playoff push.” – 11:32 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Steph Curry: “We obviously have stuff to work on, but it’s not like a situation where we don’t know what to do or how to get it done. … We just got off to a terrible start where everything went wrong on both ends of the floor.” – 10:45 PM Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
It appears the top 4 seeds in the East are set. Does it matter where the Bucks finish – 10:41 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

I know player comps with Desmond Bane have been a big thing this season, but the correct one is a crossover between Klay Thompson and Derrick Henry – 10:28 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron

Kevon Looney: “We’ve just got to get back to moving the ball. … Everyone out there being aggressive, I think things will start getting back to normal.” – 10:22 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Bobby Portis (@Bobby Portis) didn’t get a chance to have an all-star weekend last year in the 3-point contest because of the bubble format.
By going 4-for-7 tonight he is at 43.9% on the year, which is tied for 5th in the NBA (excl. injured Joe Harris). – 10:21 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Kevon Looney: “We just didn’t play with our normal identity. … Tonight, we kind of slipped a lot on the defensive end. That was probably the most concerning thing.” – 10:20 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr: “When you look at where Giannis is now, and you think about him as a rookie, you got to think about JK (Jonathan Kuminga)… Not much understanding of the NBA, not much understanding of what’s going on yet. But that’s exactly where Giannis was a decade ago.” – 10:17 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer:
“There was a good focus from us tonight. I think when it starts on the defensive end, that’s when we’re at our best. A team like the Warriors, a player like Curry, Thompson, they bring out the best in you. They bring out the highest focus.” – 10:11 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Giannis has tied Michael Jordan for 18th all-time in triple-doubles with 28.

It’s not time for the Warriors to press the panic button yet, despite dropping four of their last five. But. For the first time this season, they have multiple issues hindering them right now that they can’t shoot their way out of. They need to take a good look in the mirror. – 9:55 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
This some real adversity for the Warriors. They’ve got multiple problems to address. The hot start raised the stakes and now they gotta handle it. Will be fun to see how they respond – 9:52 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Warriors get routed in Milwaukee. Is it too early to panic? Sure. But after losing four of five, the Warriors definitely need to do some self-reflection. – 9:47 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
not our night

Warriors get blown out in Milwaukee. Fourth straight road loss with a difficult back-to-back in Chicago tomorrow night without Draymond/Klay/maybe more. First real stretch of adversity for the still 30-11 Warriors. Offense has gone quiet, Curry in a slump. – 9:46 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
FINAL: Bucks 118, Warriors 99

#Bucks win impressively over the #Warriors 118-99 – 9:46 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s the second deep pass Jordan Nwora has tipped out of bounds tonight.
Those are the hustle plays the Bucks coaching staff wants to see out of him. Doing the little things. – 9:42 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
The assist that gives Giannis the triple double!! pic.twitter.com/Kt54GNwcUP – 9:38 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Why is Giannis still in the game? – 9:33 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Perhaps the only positive tonight: With the outcome rid of doubt, Kerr got Klay 10 consecutive minutes in the third quarter. Still, been a rough night for him. – 9:31 PM Kane Pitman @KanePitman
Giannis has a triple-double which confirms @Frank Madden‘s appearance on Locked on Bucks tonight. – 9:28 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
🚨 Triple-Double Alert!! 🚨

Giannis Antetokounmpo has tied Michael Jordan for 18th all-time in triple-doubles with 28. – 9:27 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
There’s the rebound Antetokounmpo needed. And there’s the assist on a Pat Connaughton 3.
30/10/10. 28th career triple-double. – 9:27 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Giannis and Middleton still playing??? – 9:27 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Reggie Miller is right: Steph Curry still feels like the leader in the MVP race, but it’s tightening. Durant, Giannis, Embiid, Ja, the vote could be interesting come April. – 9:22 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
I bet the Bucks love all the talk about the Nets and the Bulls and everyone else. Because Milwaukee is crazy good and still relatively under the radar – 9:22 PM Eric Patten @EricPatten
Draymond MVP? – 9:21 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Bucks lead is down to 21 and Giannis Antetokounmpo is set to check back in after this timeout from Mike Budenholzer. – 9:20 PM Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbs
Don’t even think about trying to call Curry the MVP frontrunner – 9:20 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
END OF Q3: Warriors down 97-72. This one is over, meaning Golden State will fall to 1-4 over past five games. It was 29-7 over previous 36. – 9:16 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Time to finish what we started. pic.twitter.com/V5rqGH1PRh – 9:16 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks lead 97-72 after three. We’ll see if the #Warriors top trio will come back out. – 9:15 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The broadcast just showed Klay Thompson walking to the locker room. He, Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins were subbed out at the last #Warriors timeout. – 9:13 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Rough shooting night for Klay Thompson in his third game back: 3-of-11 FG, 11 points. Blowout L did free Steve Kerr to give Klay a 10-minute run to open the third quarter, double his longest court time consecutively since return. Notable as he ramps it up. – 9:11 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks are playing a tiny lineup here with Middleton as the nominal center and Hill, DiVincenzo, Connaughton and Nwora.
Maybe Connaughton is the center? – 9:08 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Best thing the Warriors can take from this game might be the hope that Jonathan Kuminga is studying Giannis verrry closely and taking notes – 9:05 PM Kane Pitman @KanePitman
The Bucks picked up Wesley Matthews mid-season as a free agent and now have had him guarding Kevin Durant one night and Steph Curry the next. Maybe the break was good for him but he’s been a great addition to the roster and his defensive versatility should be important. – 9:02 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks shooting has predictably cooled (60%+ isn’t sustainable) and the #Warriors have cut the lead under 30… – 9:02 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

All other Warriors: 10-44 – 8:56 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Hasn’t been the prettiest start to the second half, but the Bucks are still well in control.
Bucks up, 85-47, with 7:51 left in the third quarter. – 8:56 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo with a smooth 25-9-9 already. #Bucks up 85-47. – 8:55 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
This whole half should be about getting Curry a rhythm. Nothing else even matters – 8:50 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors opening the second half with a Curry, Klay, Poole, Wiggins, Looney lineup. If anything, at least gives the Curry/Klay/Poole lineup combo some needed reps together. – 8:49 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

Somehow, it still gets glossed over that no team in the league has an answer for Giannis. Not a single one. – 8:34 PM Trey Kerby @treykerby
Thought Bobby Portis was going to shimmy all through halftime. – 8:33 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
In 19 minutes, Steph Curry is a minus-34. – 8:33 PM Michael C. Wright @mikecwright
OG Bobby Portis w/the buzzer beater before half. Bucks up damn near 40. – 8:33 PM Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Bobby Portis hitting a 3 at the buzzer and hitting them with the Steph shimmy is about how this game has gone for the Warriors. – 8:33 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Bucks going crazy!!!! – 8:33 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Things you don’t see often:
Steph Curry -34 – 8:33 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Bobby Portis nails a 3 at the buzzer and shimmies while his teammates celebrate nearby. Feels pretty fitting for that first half. Warriors trail the Bucks, 77-38. – 8:33 PM Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Bucks lead the Warriors 77-38 at the half. THATS A 39 POINT LEAD – 8:33 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
It’s 77-38 Bucks at halftime in Milwaukee. Worst defensive half from the Warriors this season. Maybe their worst offensive half, too. On their way to a fourth straight road loss. – 8:32 PM Michael C. Wright @mikecwright
Damn did Giannis even have to jump on that dunk? – 8:32 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm

One minute left – 8:30 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Bucks are up 35 and George Hill is face-guarding Steph Curry – 8:26 PM Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbs
Curry just does not control games the way he used to, he is not a cheat code answer, and Klay’s return isn’t going to save the Warriors under these new Curry circumstances. We need to fire that “Warriors need a trade” narrative all the way back up – 8:25 PM Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Now we just need the Bucks and Nets to play at full strength to finish the Final Four – 8:24 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
A 31-9 run you say?! 😏 pic.twitter.com/6Wr1fDRxpY – 8:22 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
The Bucks are beating the Warriors by how much!? – 8:20 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks are still doubling up the Warriors, 60-30, with 4:17 left in the first half.
All Bucks thus far.
Antetokounmpo with 17/5/5. Portis with 14/6. Middleton with 11/2/3. Bucks are 8-of-18 from 3. – 8:20 PM Steve Popper @StevePopper
Just finished up an updated story on the Knicks trade. Let’s see how the Bucks and Warriors are battling in what surely will be a tightly contested fight. … oh. Never mind. – 8:20 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
One of the ugliest halves from the Warriors in recent memory. Golden State looks totally out of sorts on both ends. – 8:18 PM Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Gonna be a great one in Milwaukee toni … wait what – 8:18 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Sorry, NOW, Donte DiVincenzo has now passed Hall of Famer Toni Kukoč for 18th on the #Bucks all-time three point attempts list at 695. – 8:18 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
10 turnovers now for the #Warriors, which matches the number of shots they’ve made. – 8:17 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
The Bucks are taking whatever they want from the Warriors right now. – 8:16 PM Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
The Bucks are beating the Warriors by 30 right now 😳😳 – 8:16 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Grayson Allen looks like a guy who his healthy for the first time in a long time. Big difference in having him back in the lineup for the #Bucks, esp. with Jrue Holiday out. – 8:15 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

#Bucks up by 30 in the first half. – 8:14 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Should the Warriors sit Klay Thompson the rest of this potential Milwaukee blowout and play him in Chicago? He has played five minutes so far. – 8:14 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Not sure the Wiggins post up is as effective as the Warriors think it is – 8:14 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The refs just played the advantage on that fastbreak. Let Antetokounmpo’s pass to Allen get through even though he was intentionally fouled on it by the Warriors. – 8:13 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Giannis will always beat you to the basket. 🤷 pic.twitter.com/l9jTQ2N1kZ – 8:10 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Bucks are blistering – they’re shooting 61% against the NBA’s top scoring defense. Milwaukee is up 48-24 and the #Warriors haven’t made anything from deep (3-for-17). – 8:09 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears

The Warriors do not appear to have a great matchup for Giannis Antetokounmpo. He has 13/3/2 tonight after that baseline spin and finish.
Bucks up, 48-24, with 8:41 left in the first half. – 8:07 PM Michael C. Wright @mikecwright
Giannis having his way along w/OG Bobby Portis. – 8:07 PM Kane Pitman @KanePitman
Whatever the best possible projections were for Bobby Portis when he initially signed with the Bucks, he’s blown them away. What a reliable contributor he has become and he just continues to get better and better. – 8:06 PM Steve Aschburner @AschNBA
The Bucks aren’t respecting Bjelica as a defender and the Warriors aren’t respecting him as a shooter at the moment. – 8:05 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks

END OF Q1: Warriors trail Bucks, 37-21. Golden State’s offense remains in quite the funk, as it’s shooting just 8-for-23 from the field (2-for-12 from 3). Warriors really miss Draymond right now, on both ends. – 8:01 PM Chris Biderman @TheWarriorsWire
In the Warriors’ road loss against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, Steph Curry recorded his ninth career triple-double. Here’s a look at some of the stats and highlights. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/01/12/sta… – 8:00 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
That’s a 37-21 first quarter for the Bucks over the Warriors, which follows a 29-18 fourth quarter from the Grizzlies over the Warriors in Memphis the other night. Warriors have other quarters of 17, 18, 18 and 15 points the last five games. Offense in a funk. – 8:00 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm

Steph Curry just hit his first 3, which was also the Warriors’ first 3 of the night. They had missed their first seven attempts.
Bucks up, 24-15, with 3:16 left in the first quarter. – 7:51 PM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s a great hustle play by Pat Connaughton. Tipout offensive rebound and an assist to Wesley Matthews for a 3 in a single motion. – 7:48 PM Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
Stepback so nice. 🔥

Rough start for the Warriors, who just dug a quick 16-4 hole. Golden State really struggling with Giannis. Have to wonder if, with Looney in foul trouble and Green out, Kuminga will get an opportunity on him. – 7:43 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Klay Thompson has started 0-for-3 and Steph Curry has yet to take a shot for Golden State.

Gary Payton II tried to free Curry on a high pick-and-roll. Matthews hit the deck. Illegal screen called and then Stever Kerr got a technical foul. Tech FT from Middleton good. Bucket for Bobby Portis.
Bucks up, 16-4, with 7:05 left in the first quarter. – 7:42 PM Kane Pitman @KanePitman
Andre Iguodala is not having a fun time on Giannis in the early minutes. Don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves, but could you imagine seven games of Giannis vs. Dray 🔥 – 7:41 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski

Five of the 10 guys on the floor at tip-off of Golden State vs. Milwaukee had dads who played in the league: Steph (Dell) Curry, Klay (Mychal) Thompson, Andrew (Mitchell) Wiggins, Gary Payton II and Wesley (Wes) Matthews. Wonder if there’s ever been more… – 7:37 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
It’s nights like tonight the Warriors wish they had Wiseman. Looney just picked up 2 early fouls, and Golden State don’t have many big, agile bodies to put on Giannis. – 7:36 PM Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Tough start for Milwaukee native Kevon Looney, who draws not only Giannis Antetokounmpo but two fouls in the first two minutes. #Bucks up 4-2. – 7:36 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Two fouls on Kevon Looney guarding Giannis in the first 62 seconds. No Draymond Green. Steve Kerr subbing in Andre Iguodala, but I do wonder if Jonathan Kuminga will get a defensive shift on him tonight. He is active after missing last game. Not a lot of great options for GSW. – 7:35 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
Another night, another milestone for SC30 👏

The Grizzlies nailed a marketing masterpiece when they allowed young fans to trade in opposing jerseys on Thursday.
First in line, an 11-year-old from Benton, Arkansas, ready to fork over Curry for Morant.
