Steve Kerr reveals why he didn’t call a time out in Warriors loss
Steve Kerr opted against calling a timeout when Kevin Huerter went to the line to shoot free throws against the Golden State Warriors.
Some fans were curious why the veteran head coach didn’t want to design a play for what could be a game-defining moment. Instead, the Warriors lost on a last-second turnover by Steph Curry.
When speaking to the media after the game, Kerr discussed his thought process. He noted how he prefers his team to play out of a scramble rather than facing off against a set defense.
The Warriors have lost 23 games this season. They are 12th in the Western Conference, two games behind the Utah Jazz, who occupy the 10th and final play-in seed.
Golden State will undoubtedly be aware of its need to turn the season around. There may be some movement at the trade deadline as Mike Dunleavy Jr. explores what options are available to him and the team. However, there is more than enough talent with the Warriors’ roster to right the ship and make a push during the second half of the season.
