SAN FRANCISCO -- The Warriors exited Chase Center on Sunday after adding another defeat to their tally, losing to the New Orleans Pelicans. But Golden State, along with the NBA, is preparing to reckon with its toughest loss in years.
About 12 hours after the Warriors' loss, the league momentarily will come to a standstill Monday morning. All sights will fixate on Staples Center in Los Angeles for the memorial service of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Golden State pillars Draymond Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are expected to attend the service, along with general manager Bob Myers.
