A look at Warriors’ All-Star break to-do list

PORTLAND, Ore. — More than two-thirds of the way through their six-month prelude to the playoffs, the Warriors are well-positioned to be at their best come June. Missing Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green because of injuries at various points allowed role players to shoulder heavier loads and, ultimately, left Curry, Durant and Green refreshed for a title defense. In addition to boasting the league's highest-scoring offense, the Warriors rank fifth in defensive rating. The All-Star break is long overdue, however, for a team that has struggled to focus much of the past month.
