MILWAUKEE_Stephen Curry remembered Golden State's first loss last season, coming in Milwaukee at the hands of the Bucks.
Curry and his teammates made sure it didn't happen again, even though they had to survive a late rally by the Bucks to grab a 124-121 victory at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Kevin Durant finished with a game-high 33 points and the Warriors (11-2) won their seventh in a row and improved to 3-0 on their current road swing, which concludes at Indiana on Monday. Klay Thompson scored 25 of his 29 points in the second half and made two clinching free throws with 8.5 seconds left to give Golden State a four-point lead.
Curry added 20 points despite hitting just 1 of 11 from three-point range.
The Bucks rallied from a 14-point fourth quarter deficit, pulling within 122-120 on a three-point play by Jabari Parker with 2:33 left. A sensational block by Giannis Antetokounmpo on Draymond Green gave the Bucks a chance to tie or take the lead, but Antetokounmpo missed on a drive to the basket. Durant missed a jumper and the Bucks had another chance, but Green stole an inbounds pass from Tony Snell and the Bucks fouled Thompson.
Antetokounmpo led the Bucks (5-7) with 30 points and Parker added 28. Matthew Dellavedova had 10 points and five assists.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr joked before the game he would buy two tickets for a Golden State home game for any Bucks fan wearing a "10-3" shirt, a reference to the "24-1" shirts that dotted the crowd last year.
But there was no repeat even though the Bucks shot nearly 60 percent from the field in the first half, only to trail 69-66 at intermission.
