    Mark Jackson didn't see much significance in coaching Golden State to a win against his former team.

    It was the way the Warriors beat the New York Knicks that meant the most to Jackson -- doing it with a defensive focus that hasn't been seen from this franchise on a consistent basis in more than a decade.

    Then again, that's been Jackson's message to his players ever since he was hired in June.

    "This is going to be strange to hear: We're a defensive team," Jackson said following Golden State's 92-78 victory Wednesday night. "It's a shocker. Great players are going to come in and have great nights, but our job is make it tough. We had a bad first half offensively, but the defense gave us a chance to win a ballgame."
