The Warriors moved up to 12-9 and glad to put their losing streak in Memphis behind them.
"I'd be lying if I say it didn't (mean anything). They've had their way with us. It's been a long time coming. For theses new guys here, they don't know the history. People talk about the San Antonio streak and all that. That's not our history. This is the one streak that's ours and we own it. It's very refreshing and it means a lot to come here and get a W," Warriors head coach Mark Jackson told NBA.com (JSM)
