SARIC'S SEASON-HIGH
Dario Saric scored a season-high 21 points in Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. His two highest-scoring games this season have come during the In-Season Tournament, as he scored 20 points in 19 minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Nov. 3. Saric has made six field goals in three different games this season. On Tuesday, he got the starting nod over Kevon Looney and Head Coach Steve Kerr said Saric might receive more starts as he figures out what lineup combinations fit together well.
“It’s a possibility," Kerr said on starting Saric moving forward. "If we’re struggling to score, Dario changes the chess board with his pick-and-pop and ability to stretch the floor."
