Game Notes
-
“I don’t know how many games I’ve ever seen in my life where a guy hits the game-tying three in regulation, then the game-winner at the buzzer. That doesn’t happen. This guy’s a rookie, a second-round pick, and there’s something about him.” — Kerr on Patrick McCaw, via Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
-
“Steve Kerr went to that terrifying five-man unit — Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green — with 5:07 left in the first half on Friday night…In all, the lineup was outscored 13-6 to close the half…’I think the death unit, if you want to call it that, was more like the ‘having trouble breathing unit’ tonight,’ Kerr said.” — Anthony Slater, San Jose Mercury
-
“‘For tomorrow night only because we’re playing the Lakers and it’s Luke, I will just announce now that no David [West], no Andre [Iguodala],’ Kerr told reporters in Denver. ‘I want to give Luke every opportunity to prepare for tomorrow’s clash. Critical game for both teams.’ Walton didn’t miss a beat upon hearing about Kerr’s quote. ‘You tell Steve that Lou Williams isn’t playing, so he can have his full opportunity to prepare,’ Walton said, with a twinkle in his eye.” — Tania Ganguli, Los Angeles Times
- “Add one more to Warriors ‘rest’ list vs. #Lakers tonight: F Draymond Green to sit.” — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
“Probably knew that before he went to the club and posted it on Snapchat at 4am 😂” — LetsGoWarriors
