Watching Warriors win title provides inspiration for Raiders

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) Whether they were watching on their couches like Derek Carr or at raucous Oracle Arena like Jack Del Rio, seeing a local team win a championship like the Golden State Warriors did only provides extra inspiration for the Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders began their three-day mandatory minicamp Tuesday, a day after the Warriors won the NBA title at home by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

”It was awesome to be over there last night at the game and see the Warriors come through in a big way,” Del Rio said.
