Warriors wallop punchless Spurs

OAKLAND, California - Steve Kerr provided a strong message, just not from his usual spot on the bench: Play with urgency.

The Golden State Warriors did just that for their ailing coach watching from the locker room, and left Gregg Popovich questioning and criticizing his Spurs for a lack of belief and feeling sorry for themselves without injured superstar Kawhi Leonard.

Stephen Curry had 29 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in three quarters as the Warriors trounced the shorthanded Spurs, running away from San Antonio for a 136-100 rout on Tuesday night and 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.
