Warriors' Luke Walton was right man for the job

OAKLAND -- Given opportunities to toot his own horn, Luke Walton uses his aw-shucks baritone to liken the flashy, high-octane Warriors team he coaches to a car that belongs to Steve Kerr.

"It's much nicer to hand him the car back without crashing it first," Walton said, chuckling.With Walton guiding them as the interim head coach, the defending NBA champion Warriors have gone on a dream ride and steamrolled the competition on their way to the best start in league history at 30-2. As Walton appears to be winding down his stint, his success should not have come as a complete surprise.
