The NBA schedule was loaded with 10 games on Saturday, headlined by the two top teams in the lead keeping historical win streaks alive. The Golden State Warriors came back to beat the Phoenix Suns 123-116 to extend their record home win streak to 48 games, while the San Antonio Spurs also pulled off another fourth-quarterback comeback against the Oklahoma City Thunder, keeping their 41-game home win streak in tact with a 93-85 victory.
As for Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin, his broken hand he suffered in a fight with a member of the team's training staff has healed, but the team still doesn't know when he'll return to the court due to a quad injury he suffered weeks before.
