Sixers fans take heart.
The Golden State Warriors’ coach said last night, “Losing sucks!”
The Warriors, who set an NBA record by winning their first 24 games, suffered a 108-95 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday night.
“What they did to start this season, there’s no reason for anyone to hang their head in that locker room for losing that game,” Golden State interim coach Luke Walton said.
“They’ve been incredible all year. Losses are going to come. We didn’t have it tonight. That’s why is so hard to do what these guys have done so far. Tonight it caught up to us. We didn’t have our shots falling, we were a little slow on our defensive rotations, and that happens. It takes nothing away from what they did to start the season.
“Losing sucks. Even if you’re 24-1, losing still sucks. But I’m sure the long flight home, tomorrow off, guys just kind of unwinding a little bit, I bet there’ll a little bit of relief mentally going forward from this point on. It was a lot of fun.”
Also over is the team’s 28-game regular-season winning streak which ranks second all-time in league history. The Los Angeles Lakers hold the record of 33, which was set in the 1971-’72 season and was halted by the Bucks as well.
