On Sunday evening, the Golden State Warriors' losing streak continued with a narrow road loss at the hands of the New York Knicks. The Warriors put in an admirable effort in this game, sidelining Stephen Curry and several other key players, but ultimately, they gave up a 21-point lead and suffered a tough loss.
At one point in the second quarter, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr yelled at rookie Will Richard after he was unable to block an overthrow pass from Brandin Podzimski on a fast break, leading to a turnover.
After the game, Kerr explained what he was thinking during that moment, and also expressed regret for his anger.
"It was a bad pass from BP. BP should have made a nice pass and Will should have dunked. Turned into a 5-point swing. I was angry at Will because I thought he could have turned the ball over and not made the throw. I thought he was trying to make a round-the-back pass for a score. I'm not sure, I could be wrong," Kerr said, according to @jinttherty on Twitter. Said.
He said, "...I regret losing my composure there a bit because it's my job to keep players forward, especially without so many players. That's a big part of winning games like this. Making good decisions, understanding how valuable the ball is."
It was indeed a bizarre scene, considering that the turnover originated from Podziemski's pass, and there was nothing wrong done on Richard's part.
Overall, the Warriors are currently 32-35 on the season, and have moved into a situation where they must win two elimination games to make the playoffs when the postseason begins today.
The Warriors next play against the Washington Wizards on Monday evening.
