B. Diddy Scores 25 And Dishes 15 In Win At MilwaukeeThe Warriors began a quick two-game road trip with an impressive 113-109 win at Milwaukee. Baron Davis, finding the form that made him an All-Star, scored 25 points to go with his 15 assists, including 4th quarter alley-oops to Jason Richardson and Mickael Pietrus. Richardson's came after an impressive block, which he then saved from going out of bounds. Running the entire length of the floor, Davis found Richardson for the alley-oop. Pietrus' came as the shot clock was winding down and Davis was posting up. Seeing the defensive lapse on the weak side, Pietrus broke for the basket and Davis found him for the two points and the foul. Pietrus continued to make it clear who the Warriors' small forward of the future will be, scoring 21 points on 6-9 shooting and playing shutdown defense on Michael Redd. Troy Murphy had yet another double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. With the win the Warriors improved their record to 26-45.

Forget about losing games to gain better draft position. What’s important is that the Warriors learn to win, play together, gain respect around the league and head into next season on a positive and optimistic note. That’s exactly what they’re doing, with an 8-7 record since the Baron Davis trade, including four wins in the last five games. The more they win, the higher expectations will be for next year. That could be good or bad, but it doesn’t matter right now. All that matters is for the Warriors to once again become a respectable NBA franchise. They bounced back after having their three-game win streak snapped against Dallas. Earlier in the season, their four-game winning streak was snapped with nine straight losses. Perhaps the hottest Warrior is Mickael Pietrus. Remember him? Pietrus has been the most inconsistent Warrior this year, but lately he’s been consistently good. In the past, Pietrus was only effective on offense when his 3-point shot was going in. When he missed his 3’s, he disappeared. Not the last two games. Against the Bucks, Pietrus was 1-4 from downtown, yet he managed to score 18 points and played spectacular defense on Michael Redd and Desmond Mason. On Wednesday, he was 0-3 from long range but scored 22 points on 8-13 shooting. Also, he was a combined 11-13 from the line in the two games.

Dirk Nowitzki had 29 points and 10 rebounds, and Keith Van Horn scored 24 points in the Dallas Mavericks' fourth straight victory. Baron Davis had 22 points and eight assists before fouling out for the Warriors. Mickael Pietrus scored 22 points, and Derek Fisher added 14. Forward Mike Dunleavy, Jr. was ejected in the third quarter after picking up an offensive foul. Dunleavy got in the face and yelled at referee Bill Spooner and took off his jersey and threw it into the crowd as he walked off the court into the locker room. Dunleavy's ejection thinned out an already thin frontline, since the Warriors were missing Troy Murphy who is attending to the death of his grandmother.
