Golden State is coming off a pretty crazy game against the Grizzlies, a two point win (122-120) where Steph Curry got ejected for throwing his mouthpiece.

Of course, Alford knows a little bit about winning with a lifetime coaching record of 649-341 (66%). Steve coached New Mexico, tonight's opponent, for six seasons, and he is pitching a PERFECTO against his old team. Since taking over in Reno, Alford is 6-0 against the Lobos.
