Report: Spurs may rest starters at home vs. Warriors

Spurs may rest starters at home vs. SALT LAKE CITY — The Warriors’ path to the NBA’s best-ever regular season may be getting a little easier. The Warriors also host the Spurs on April 7. [...] San Antonio point guard Tony Parker said on his French radio show that he believes head coach Gregg Popovich will rest his key players in the potential Western Conference final previews. “I think no one will play (against the Warriors),” Parker said, according to the translation of News 4 San Antonio. On top of trying to secure the top spot in the West, the Warriors are chasing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who won an NBA-record 72 games. “I didn’t think that record would ever be broken,” said Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who played for the record-setting Bulls’ team. Psychological hurdle?: The Warriors’ first-round matchup most likely will be against Dallas, Houston or Utah — teams that will be considerable heavy underdogs in a series.
