TIP-INS

Warriors: Curry, the two-time MVP, missed his sixth straight game with a strained left groin. Golden State is 2-4 without him. Green missed his second consecutive game with a strained right toe. Kerr got a technical foul 47 seconds into the second quarter after protesting a foul on Jonas Jerebko. Durant was called for a technical after complaining about a non-call on his first field goal attempt of the second half.

Spurs: San Antonio has had a winning record for 3,355 days since 1997, most of any team in the league. Dallas is second at 2,407, followed by Houston with 2,340. Aldridge has 202 games with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds since 2006. LeBron James has 203 such games during that same span. Pau Gasol missed his sixth straight game with a sore left foot. Davis Bertans sat out as he remains in the league's concussion protocol.

PACK A LUNCH

Kerr was asked if he planned to give Golden State a day off Monday following a three-game road trip as it prepares to host Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

No way, he joked.

"They'll have a two-a-day tomorrow," Kerr said. "I'm going back to the old days, Bobby Knight style." The Warriors are off Monday.

NOT SO BAD DeRozan experienced his first slump with the Spurs since joining the team in an offseason trade from Toronto. Popovich's attitude during the skid left DeRozan a bit surprised.

"He was more patient than I expected," DeRozan said. "But like I said, we all have that feeling of understanding a lot of things are new. I know we keep saying it, but we're definitely making progress when we're going out there and playing. Very aggressive. We all want the same thing; we're all cheering for one another. It's just once we're more consistent with things defensively, you'll start to see games like tonight happen more often."
