ATHENS — Marcus Thornton said giving Florida its first SEC loss since 2013 wasn't extra motivation for Georgia. Thornton insisted he didn't even know about Florida's long run of Southeastern Conference wins until after he helped end the streak. Thornton and Kenny Gaines scored 16 points apiece and Georgia, which never trailed, beat Florida 73-61 on Saturday to end the Gators' streak of 24 straight SEC wins.
