The Warriors finally lost and Twitter had some thoughts on the situation
The Golden State Warriors have been one of the biggest stories in all of sports over the first month and a half of the 2015-16 season as they won their first 24 games of the season. After winning the title last season, Stephen Curry and Golden State just refused to go down, despite a number of close calls along the way. They kept winning and were historically good, at least until they met up with the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.
One night after the Warriors found themselves in a double-overtime battle with the Boston Celtics, they travelled to the Bradley Center in Milwaukee. It was pretty clear that a road trip and brutal affair the night before had the defending champs looking fatigued. Moreover, the Bucks played some of their best basketball of the season and, ultimately, handled the Warriors to give Golden State their first loss of the season.
This is what Twitter had to say on the subject:
It's been real, Warriors. Thanks for giving us six weeks of fantastic fun.

So if you get the Warriors on a back to back after they go double overtime, you have a chance.

They won’t get the praise tonight, but Warriors deserve it for what they’ve accomplished. Losses like this happen. Streaks like that don’t.

I have every expectation that the Warriors will have another 20+ game streak this season.

One of the most dominant winning streaks that NBA fans have ever seen. It’s unfortunate, but I have a feeling that the Warriors might be just fine in terms of recovering after this. 24-1 still looks pretty amazing in the standings.
