Round II between the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors is tonight.
These teams last met on the first day of the season, when this whole Kevin Durant playing for the Warriors was still a new thing. The Spurs throttled the Warriors out of their own building, 129-100, in what remains its largest defeat of the season. Durant put up 27 points and Stephen Curry added 26 points.
We expected fireworks that night — a team with Curry, Durant and Klay Thompson is privy to such expectations.
