"Draymond Green, as he often does, took on the challenge of guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Warriors' 120-113 victory the visiting Bucks in the first of an eight-game home-stand. Steph Curry was brilliant with 32 points on Wednesday night. Marquette alum Jimmy Butler put up 21 points, while Milwaukee native Brandin Podziemski had six rebounds and four assists off the bench. De'Anthony Melton scored a season-high 22 for Golden State. While Antetokounmpo scored a game-high 34, Green made him work for most of those points."
"That did not mean there was no intrigue, as both Antetokounmpo and Green were involved in a handful of chippy altercations in a half that concluded with the Warriors up 64-53. The two bigs had a long conversation in the second quarter after Green fouled the Greek superstar on a drive. Then, later in the quarter, Green gave his adversary a hard shove in the chest on a trip downcourt that was not called a foul."
