Jonas Jerebko comes up big as Warriors beat Mavericks

Jonas Jerebko had relatively modest ambitions when he signed with the Warriors last summer: boost basketball's popularity in his native Sweden, prove he still belongs in the NBA and, hopefully, help Golden State stay atop the league. Fresh off getting waived by Utah, Jerebko didn't necessarily expect to even be a mainstay in the rotation. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had told Jerebko before he signed that he'd play big minutes some nights and not get off the bench others. In helping power Golden State to a 120-116 win Saturday night over the Mavericks at Oracle Arena, Jerebko continued to over-achieve, showing just how big a steal he is on a minimum contract.
