Troy Murphy has been back and coming off the bench for five games after returning from a torn plantar fascia tendon in his right foot but it doesn't sound like he will be returning to the starting lineup anytime soon. "We're taking it one game at a time," Warriors coach Eric Musselman said before the game. "Cliff's done a good job, too. It's been a balancing act. We know Troy is a starter in this league; Cliff's done a great job. At the appropriate time, we'll look at those things."
