Game Notes
- The Warriors have an NBA best 731 assists this season. The Celtics, at 544, have the second most assists. The Mavericks, at 395, are last in the league. So that’s a 187-assist difference between the No. 1 and 2 teams in the league and a 149-assist difference between the No. 2 and No. 30 teams. That’s the kind of ball movement chasm the Warriors have created. — Anthony Slater, The Mercury News
- The Warriors average 21.8 more points per game than the Grizzlies, who they play in Memphis [tonight]. — Brian Witt, Warriors Digital Experience Coordinator
- Still, head coach Steve Kerr has no qualms playing McCaw during pivotal stretches. McCaw was on the court for the final 7:35 of a close game Nov. 16 at Toronto. With Livingston resting Thursday against the Jazz, McCaw played nine-plus minutes of a back-and-forth second quarter. “The ball moves when he’s out on the floor,” Kerr said. “He just catches it and moves it to the first open guy. And he’s very good defensively, too.” — Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
