Warriors enjoying present, eyeing bigger goals ahead

Steve Kerr knows the Golden State Warriors will have tougher days ahead this season, that there are higher hurdles to clear and bigger goals to reach. The Warriors are off to the best start in franchise history, have the NBA's best record and are winning at such a blistering pace that Kerr and his staff already have secured their spots to coach the talented Western Conference in next month's All-Star Game at New York's Madison Square Garden. The NBA also announced Thursday night that Stephen Curry (1,513,324) edged LeBron James (1,470,483) for the most All-Star votes. Indeed, the Warriors have little to complain about as they hit the official midpoint of their season when they host Sacramento on Friday night.
