Game Notes
- Kerr on 1st Warriors/Phoenix game: “Draymond, the light bulb clicked on for him…defend like crazy” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkHlS0Sgp0o&w=560&h=315]
- Steve Kerr on previous game vs Phoenix Suns: “It was a clunky game…We didn’t have any rhythm at all” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM4Y2FDsCiY&w=560&h=315]
- Warriors’ Steve Kerr on Phoenix Suns: “They have a good wealth of talent, good base of draft picks” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpGyL5F8Mx8&w=560&h=315]
- Now, with Durant thriving and Curry back to his torrid three-point exploits, Green is learning how to pick his spots offensively. He is 7-for-10 from three-point range in his past two games. “You have to figure it all out,” Green said. “It’s seeing what the team has and going, ‘All right, maybe I can help in that area and focus on something else.’ It’s all about coming together.” “I think he’s been brilliant,” Kerr said. — Connor Letourneau, San Francisco Chronicle
- “I just try to be consistent,” Durant said. “Don’t want to be one of those guys that scores 50 one night and six the next. I’d rather have 30 for a week straight, 25 for a week straight. I’m about every single day…But now I can reflect and say, yeah, that was pretty cool.” — Anthony Slater, The Mercury News
