OAKLAND – With Dallas stars Dirk Nowitzki and Deron Williams watching from the bench in street clothes, the Warriors may have to search within themselves to find motivation Friday night when they face the Mavericks at Oracle Arena.
The Warriors will take the floor with a 64-7 record, needing to win nine of their final 11 games to supplant the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who went 72-10, as the team with the best single-season record in league history.
