Arrivati secondi in Western Conference, i San Antonio Spurs sembrano poter essere gli unici possibili rivali in grado di competere con i Warriors: riusciranno gli uomini di Gregg Popovich a mettere i bastoni tra le ruote a Curry e compagni? Solo i playoffs potranno svelarlo. I caso di vittoria delle Finals, si tratterebbe del sesto titolo per coach Pop, che staccherebbe John Kundla e Pat Riley (fermi a quota cinque) e andrebbe ad occupare solitario il terzo gradino del podio degli allenatori più vincenti dell’NBA
