The Golden State Warriors will take on the San Antonio Spurs for the second time in two nights tomorrow. The Warriors came off a loss last night against the Spurs and Steph Curry was dejected with the defeat. More importantly, the rest of the team needs to match the level that Curry is playing at.
The Spurs, on the other hand, are still in the recovery process after losing their foundational player Kawhi Leonard two seasons ago. DeMar DeRozan has finally begun to find form coming into the season, after a difficult start to his career in San Antonio. Players like Dejounte Murray and Jakob Poetl have also been in good form coming into the season.
