Coach Steve Kerr downplays Draymond Green’s scoring after the Warriors’ 120-100 win over the Miami Heat on Nov. 6, 2026, emphasizing the veteran’s defensive and playmaking role. Green logged just two points but handed out 11 assists, helped contain Giannis Antetokounmpo (20 points) and served as the team’s de facto center alongside Al Horford and Charles Bassey. Kerr praised Green’s “traffic‑directing” abilities and said his low shot volume isn’t a concern as long as he creates for teammates like Stephen Curry (29 points) and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg (17 points). The Warriors aim to sustain this defensive-first approach for the rest of the season.
The Milwaukee Bucks dropped their seventh straight game, falling 109-102 to a Jayson Tatum‑rested Boston Celtics on Nov. 4, 2026.

NBA anti‑tanking reforms have reshaped the draft lottery, but early season results show many teams still flounder. Stephen Noh notes that six clubs sit at 1‑0, double last year’s count, with the Bulls, Jazz, Bucks and Kings all 1‑7 and Chicago posting a league‑worst –17.6 net rating. While the new rules may curb deliberate losing later in the year, they won’t instantly fix weak rosters. Noh points to bright spots—Memphis’s 6‑2 start and progress from Dallas, Washington and New Orleans—driven by health, development and smart additions. The lottery tweak can encourage better decisions, but it won’t create talent overnight.
