This time, Steve Kerr won’t rest his biggest scorers in San Antonio
The Warriors’ nationally televised game Wednesday in San Antonio will have at least one notable difference from the last time they faced their biggest Western Conference threat:
“I’m not planning to rest anyone in San Antonio on the back-to-back because we’re flying in from Houston,” Kerr said before Sunday evening’s home game against the Grizzlies.
With much of its normal rotation watching from the bench, Golden State slogged through a 107-85 loss that trimmed its lead over the Spurs for the West’s top seed to half a game.
Though it has four games in six nights ahead, Golden State’s only road games in that span are in Texas (Tuesday in Houston, then Wednesday’s ESPN game in San Antonio).
Should they reach the NBA Finals for a third consecutive season, the Warriors will have home-court advantage.
About 90 minutes before tip-off Sunday, he capped a solid shooting session with a driving, one-handed dunk.
