This game could have been historic. If the Bucks hadn't toppled the Warriors on Dec. 12, this game would have been to tie the all-time record for consecutive games unbeaten. Fans weren't the only ones hoping for that; Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith said he watched the Warriors overtime war with the Celtics, which preceded the Bucks loss, intently.
Why Most Americans Haven't Seen The Warriors
"When it was a tough game against Boston, I was home watching the game and I was like, 'Man, y'all got to pull this out. Y'all got to pull this out.' I wanted them to go undefeated until they played us," Smith said.
Christmas could be a reminder from LeBron James that he is still the best player in the world. Stephen Curry has stolen the mantle from him in most people's minds thanks to Golden State's red-hot start, and his historic numbers.
