LONDON -- The boys from Dunblane havent half done bad.I think were probably each others biggest fans, Andy Murray said Friday when asked about his brother Jamie Murrays achievement of finishing as year-end doubles No. 1 with Bruno Soares.The camaraderie has been there between them from the youngest of ages, when they grew up competing against each other with any piece of sports apparatus they could get their hands on.When we were really young, Jamie would have won most things we did, said Andy. He was 15 months older, so he was bigger and stronger and better than me at most things. He was smarter than me.Then as we started to get older and physically were on more of a level playing field, we were pretty close really at most things. Jamie is a really good golfer. He was better at that. Football, probably me. Then squash and table tennis, more of the racket sports, was pretty close between the two of us really.Andy added, laughing: Well, thats my recollection of it. He might say something a bit different. Thats what I remember.Jamie has largely had to deal with his brother getting most of the spotlight ever since they went their separate ways in their early teens. The elder Murray headed to Cambridge for nine months and then Paris, with Andy going off to Spain when he was 15.While Andys talents as a singles player flourished, culminating in his rise to world No. 1 with three major titles to his name, Jamie has risen to the top of the mens doubles rankings with two of his own slams. Jamie also beat Andy to a first Wimbledon title, winning the mixed doubles with Jelena Jankovic in 2007.Throw in the Davis Cup they helped Britain win together last year, and the Murray family is British tennis royalty.Now, the brothers march toward tennis history continues apace at the World Tour Finals.Jamie was confirmed Friday as the year-end doubles No. 1 with partner Soares after Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert lost their final round-robin match.It capped off a sensational 2016 for the Scot and the Brazilian. Neither man had won a mens doubles slam before they claimed the Australian Open together, having only come together at the beginning of 2016. They also went on to win the US Open.They had an amazing year. They deserve it, Andy continued. Its a great achievement for both of them and Im very proud of Jamie.Its really special to get to watch what hes achieved in the biggest competitions in the sport. Neither of us ever would have expected this when we were growing up. We need to try and enjoy it.Whether Andy finishes the season on top of the singles rankings is still undecided. He has reached the semifinals here for the first since 2012 with Milos Raonic awaiting him.But he could yet see the No. 1 spot snatched away from him this week, should Novak Djokovic outperform Murray.The Serb faces Kei Nishikori in the other singles semifinal Saturday. Should he and Murray both win their matches, Sunday would be the first time in the history of the Tour Finals where the two finalists would not only be playing for the championship but the year-end No. 1 ranking.The whole year has been fantastic for both of us, Andy added of his brother. We would like to finish it perfectly if we can. Still theres a good chance that doesnt happen.Regardless of what happens over the weekend, we can look back on this year and be very proud of what weve done as a family.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors get an opportunity to exact some revenge for the first time this season when they host the Los Angeles Lakers in the opener of a three-day, home-and-home series Wednesday night.The club also meet Friday night in Los Angeles.The Warriors will take a 12-2 record into the doubleheader, having won eight in a row since a shocking 117-97 drubbing at the hands of the Lakers at the Staples Center on Nov. 7.It appears the early wakeup call was just what the Warriors needed. The two-time defending Western Conference champs have rebounded to win eight straight, including four in a row on a just completed Eastern swing.After being held to a season-low 97 points in the loss to the Lakers, the Warriors have responded with an average of 120 points during their winning streak.The impressive offensive run has propelled Golden State into the league lead in scoring (117.1) and assists (30.9) per game.The Warriors led the NBA in both categories last season -- albeit it with lesser numbers (114.9 points, 28.9 assists) -- en route to their record 73-win season.Weve been great on the road the last three years, Warriors guard Klay Thompson told reporters after Mondays 120-83 win at Indiana. We want to keep that mentality and carry this momentum back home.Were looking forward to facing this Lakers team that beat us.Golden State will welcome a key piece of their historic run back to Oracle Arena on Wednesday night when they duel for a second time -- the first time at home -- with their former assistant coach, Luke Walton.Walton, who led the Warriors to thheir 24-0 start last season while Steve Kerr was recovering from back surgery, is now the coach of the Lakers.ddddddddddddWaltons presence and the three resulting high draft picks following 27-, 21- and 17-win seasons have made the Lakers one of the leagues most improved teams.With 2014 first-round pick Julius Randle averaging 13.3 points and a team-leading 8.1 rebounds, and 2015 first-rounder DAngelo Russell contributing 16.1 points and a team-high 4.8 assists, the Lakers have vaulted from the NBAs worst offense last season (97.3 ppg) to the leagues third-best (109.9).Even 2016 first-round pick Brandon Ingram has started to get into the flow, having scored in double figures three times in the last six games after just one in his first nine outings.Ingram came off the bench to score 11 in a 111-109 home win over the Oklahoma Thunder on Tuesday night in a game in which Russell sat out to rest a sore knee and Randle was limited to 21 minutes by a sore hip.Russell is not expected to play Wednesday in Oakland, either.The Lakers (8-7) are on the road Wednesday after an inconsistent homestand in which they lost two of four. Theyve dropped three of five overall, having allowed an average of 117.2 points in those games after holding four of their first 10 opponents -- including Golden State -- under 100.That didnt stop Walton from delivering a message to his club before heading north.Theyre probably the ones that are a little nervous right now, he said.
