These were the staples of the exhilarating Denver Nuggets' NBA franchise-record 57-win regular season. George Karl kept with that theme Wednesday, sharing the credit far and wide after being named the league's Coach of the Year for the first time in his quarter century as an NBA head coach.

(AP) — The Golden State Warriors never relented. They didn't back down when Andrew Bogut sat out rehabilitating his left ankle. They didn't buckle when they lost Game 1 at Denver. And they didn't quit when All-Star forward David Lee tore his right hip flexor in that playoff opener — and neither did Lee, for the matter. For only the second ...
