Warriors need to make statement in home finale before playoffs

The Warriors will be on a very warm seat Saturday, when the close out the regular season against the New Orleans Pelicans at Oracle Arena. After a roundly discouraging 20-point loss at Indiana prompted coach Steve Kerr to scold his team for indifference and star forward Kevin Durant to disagree with that assessment, the Warriors (57-22) will try to put the pieces back together in the home finale as they close out the regular season. The Pelicans (45-34) are one of six teams vying for the final five postseason berths within the Western Conference.
