Up Next
The Dubs turnaround from this one will be really quick, as the team hosts the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night (7 p.m., NBCSBA). Expect more youth in the Dubs' lineup on the second night of a back-to-back. The Warriors’ Hall of Fame trio of Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin will be calling the game for NBC Sports Bay Area and the Warriors will celebrate the occasion by wearing their Classic jerseys that became popular during the Run TMC era.
