The Warriors pop the Spurs for 144 points in a blowout win to open road trip. Eight players in double figures: Curry, Klay, Wiggins, DiVincenzo, Poole, Looney, Lamb, Moody. Lack of drama allowed Warriors to hold Curry/Klay to only 23 minutes ahead of two straight back-to-backs.

The Warriors went on the road to face the rugged and red hot Spurs (beat talented Pistons could weeks ago) in front of like 90,00 fans in some intimidating and borderline unfair dome set up. Golden State dropped 144 points and is officially back. #dubs
