NBA’s Warriors welcome Kerr with win, Cavs say goodbye to Blatt (AFP)

The Golden State Warriors welcomed head coach Steve Kerr back to the bench for the first time this season with a 122-110 NBA victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Kerr, who had been sidelined by complications from pre-season back surgery, slipped seamlessly back into place, his return overshadowed by the stunning dismissal of head coach David Blatt by the Cleveland Cavaliers -- the team Kerr and the Warriors beat in the NBA Finals last season.
