It had to happen eventually.
The Golden State Warriors ended their NBA record of 24 straight wins when the Milwaukee Bucks topped them 108-95 on Saturday.
The first five minutes of the game foretold the outcome. The Warriors looked tired on the last stop of a seven-game road trip and seemed unable to get their offense going.
In the end, Golden State shot 6 for 26 from three-point territory. Stephen Curry, the Warriors all-galaxy point guard, hit just 25% of his shots from beyond the line or about half as many as he has sunk from outside the arc all season.
Center Greg Monroe led the Bucks with 28 points.

Warriors’ interim coach Luke Walton dismissed a suggestion that the loss spelled relief for his team. “Losing sucks,” he told reporters. “Even if you are 24-1, losing still sucks.”
Still, Walton speculated that his players might experience “a little relief mentally” now that pressure to maintain the streak has ended.
