Mark Jackson: 'I'm happy with how we battled'

Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson has praised the battling qualities of his side following the 111-92 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Warriors took control of Thursday's game early in the first quarter and continued to dominate in most areas of the court on their way to a 14th home win of the season.

"We've had some special nights, so it's not like we are trying to reach for something we are not capable of doing," Jackson told reporters after the game. "We are all well aware of it.

"What I liked about tonight was that we set the tone early and battled."

Golden State take on the Utah Jazz at the EnergySolutions Arena on Friday night.
