LAS VEGAS — When Kevon Looney awoke Saturday morning, the Warriors forward felt no lingering soreness in his surgically repaired hips. "Feeling good the next day was a big thing for me," said Looney, who recorded three points and nine rebounds in 14 minutes of Golden State's overtime win Friday at Denver. Feeling good became even more important when, 90 minutes before tipoff Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena, Looney learned he was starting against the Lakers. The 30th pick of the 2015 NBA Draft, Looney was limited to five games as a rookie last season. The UCLA product underwent two hip surgeries in eight months, and after an extended rehab, was cleared for contact in late August. Kerr said he was "trying to be nice" and has told Lakers head coach Luke Walton, a Golden State assistant the past two seasons, his first play of the game.
