Spurs-Warriors Preview

The Golden State Warriors have been the NBA's best team, but Steve Kerr thought last week they looked like they could use some rest. Though Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson's breaks were abbreviated, Kerr hopes they'll be recharged when they return to the court Friday night against the visiting San Antonio Spurs. Golden State (42-9) owns the league's best record and is on pace for a franchise record in wins, holding a four-game edge over second-place Memphis in the Western Conference. Curry, with 23.6 points and 7.9 assists per game, is one of the top MVP candidates, while Thompson has elevated his play with career highs of 22.1 points per game and a 44.0 3-point percentage.
