Good news for Golden State was the return of Stephen Curry from injury, who helped end a 3-game losing streak with a 116-112 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Saturday.

Jackson will be sure to remind his players of how the Clippers reacted when they beat the Warriors on Jan. 2.

"It was just a good old-fashioned heavyweight championship stare down. That's all,'' Jackson told ESPN.

He added, "But they earned the right to celebrate, the way they played. So what you've got to do as a coach or as a player is just let it soak in and remember it. That's all. Mark it down with permanent ink.''
