SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — For Dejan Milojević, the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks stood united on one sideline near their team benches and listened as the Serbian national anthem played in his honor.

Each Warrior player then placed an extra jersey on one coaching chair that also featured a special black T-shirt draped over with the word "BRATE” — or brother, as their coach called them all.

Golden State returned to the court for the first time since losing its beloved assistant coach last week in Salt Lake City. Milojević suffered a heart attack last Tuesday night at a team dinner and died the next day.

A tribute video played on the big screen and photos all over Chase Center showed a beaming “Deki,” as they so fondly called him.
