"They have champions over there," Durant said in an interview following the game. "They got a great mix of veteran and young players. They got a new coach, but the leaders of that team have been through some wars."
With those losses, KD made sure it was stressed this was not a fluke.
"I wouldn't call them a young team or say them beating us two times is going to give them extra confidence. They've been ballin' before that, and they're going to be ballin' after they beat us. So they're not an up-and-coming team. They're here."

The Raptors sit atop the Eastern Conference (23-7) with the Bucks 3.5 games behind. They continue to be a thorn in the sides of Warriors, and the defense proved that on Wednesday. They held Curry to just 10 points and only went 3-for-12 from the field.
Curry admittedly lost his rhythm in the loss and while he was unsure "whatever the reason" was behind that, it appears we know the team who could have the Warriors in the palm of its hand.
