The Warriors will forgo their normal halftime routine Monday in Los Angeles to watch Kobe Bryant have his two jersey numbers retired.

“Just the experience in seeing one of the greatest players in the history of the game getting his jersey retired, and we happen to be there,” Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said after practice Saturday.

"I'm not going to keep them in the locker room to watch tape of the first half. The players would look at me like I was nuts. Something interesting is going on the floor. Let's go out there."
