NBA: Thompson spurs Warriors as San Antonio downed

Klay Thompson scored 27 points as the Golden State Warriors recovered from an early mauling to score a 112-92 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. A stormy encounter between the two Western Conference big guns saw Warriors coach Steve Kerr lose his cool on the sidelines before Spurs counterpart Gregg Popovich was ejected late in the game. Popovich was tossed in the fourth quarter after picking up a second technical foul following an altercation with a member of the officiating crew.
