Warriors looking for revenge Friday in rematch with Bucks

After having an NBA-record win streak snapped by the Milwaukee Bucks last Saturday, the Golden State Warriors took their frustrations out on the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Now, they're eyeing revenge on the Bucks - who they host Friday night at Oracle Arena.

Fresh in the Dubs' mind? The way the Bucks rubbed in their victory last weekend.

"Oh, it was a nice celebration. We do remember that stuff," Stephen Curry told reporters, ominously. "We were kind of laughing at some of the stuff going on. It was a big game for them. Friday will be a big game for us."

One thing that stands out in particular was Michael Carter-Williams' dunk late in the game, followed by a stare down of the Warriors' bench (2:30 mark, below).

The always-talkative Draymond Green has a bone of contention with that. "Michael Carter-Williams getting a dunk at the end of the game and looking at our bench like, 'Dude, you lost your spot,'" Green told KNBR radio Tuesday. "So, it's not quite common that you should be looking toward someone's bench yelling. You've got some ground to make up."

Klay Thompson agreed.

"We're looking forward to it, man," Thompson said Wednesday after dropping 43 points on the Suns. "Obviously a team that gave us our one in the loss column, and we felt they could have won with a little more class."

The Bucks are winless so far on their California road trip, with some off-floor criticisms to boot.
