MIAMI -- The Golden State Warriors, already without Stephen Curry, elected to rest Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Otto Porter Jr. on Wednesday -- the second night of a back-to-back -- but still ended up beating the East-leading Miami Heat 118-104 to snap a three-game losing skid.
The move wasn't necessarily out of character for the Warriors -- they've been resting Thompson and Porter on one end of back-to-back games all season long. But the decision to rest this trio was more notable with the Warriors mired in a three-game slump entering Wednesday.
