OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) If the Golden State Warriors are going to set the NBA single-season wins record, they will have to go through a full-strength San Antonio squad to do it.

Coach Gregg Popovich said he plans to play all his healthy players Thursday at Golden State and then again when the two teams meet Sunday in San Antonio. Popovich says he will rest several players for the back-to-back Friday at Denver.

The Spurs frequently give their older players time off in the regular season to make sure they are healthy come playoff time, but he also does not want to sit them too much that they get rusty.

Golden State (69-9) needs to win its final four games to break Chicago's single-season wins record of 72 set in 1995-96.
