It’s must-see sports. This Saturday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m., the Milwaukee Bucks host the Golden State Warriors at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
The defending NBA champion Warriors should roll into Milwaukee with a 24-0 record and with one of the hottest players in the league, Stephen Curry. Curry is truly on top of his game, averaging 32 points per game. Last week alone, Curry (who was named player of the week for the Western Conference) led the Warriors to a 4-0 week, with all wins coming on the road and a league-best 34.5 points. Curry, who also averaged 4.8 assists and 4.0 rebounds, scored 25 or more points in each contest, and twice reached the 40-point plateau. The guy is amazing.
If you can, go on Saturday night. The Bucks had a big win last night, and even thought they’ll be coming off a very tough stretch (Clippers on Wednesday and at Toronto on Friday night), the Warriors will be too. And you shouldn’t overlook the Bucks as an upset candidate on Saturday. In their rankings piece, ESPN wrote, "Are we perhaps overlooking Milwaukee – in the seventh game of a seven-city trip over 13 days that will cover 7,388 miles by the time it's over – as the destination that could finally trip the Warriors up?"
The Bucks are playing well and much better on defense, so there’s always a chance to upset the champs. If it happens, you should be there. No matter what the outcome on Saturday night, if you’re a sports fan, seeing the Warriors live this season is something you should do. They are fun, polished and a joy to watch.
