The Golden State Warriors suffered their first defeat of the season Saturday with a shocking 108-95 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, halting their season-opening win streak at 24 games. The stunning defeat came at the end of a grueling seven-game road trip for the weary Warriors, who needed a double overtime marathon to beat the Boston Celtics on Friday and extend the streak to 28 straight regular season wins dating back to last season. "The losses are going to come. We didn't have it tonight," said Warriors coach Luke Walton. "We turned the ball over too many times tonight. "Losing sucks even if you are 24-1." The Warriors fell just five wins shy of equaling the NBA all-time record of 33 straight victories set by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1971-72 season. Golden States' win streak stands as the second longest in league history and the longest to start a season. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since they set the record for the best start in history at 16-0. Center Greg Monroe tallied 28 points and 11 rebounds for the Bucks, who looked surprisingly fresh after losing 90-83 in Toronto on Friday. "We wanted to come out with a lot of effort and energy," said Monroe. "We were at home, a packed house. It was a great opportunity for us." Milwaukee will have Sunday and Monday off before beginning a four-games-in-six-days trip that includes a visit to Golden State next Friday.
