• Steve Kerr postgame on any concerns over the load from this double-OT game: “There’s a reason I gave the guys the days off…the performance staff will let me know if they have concerns about anybody.”
• On Poole’s 31 shots: “What I love about Jordan is that he’s got another level to reach. These games are so great for him to feel what it’s like to be Steph…have the best defender on you, to have the pressure on you…function. Down the stretch…gonna be more physical…we don’t win any of these five games without Jordan…he needs this experience to go through so he can feel what it’s like to be the main guy…from an improvement standpoint…awareness of what needs to happen, playing through stuff…that’s exciting to me because he’s already a helluva player.”
• On the timeout and what he talked about: “We took Jordan out. We had the two-point lead…defensive lineup…foul to use…no threes and no fouls on the shot…are we gonna switch…we have no timeouts left. If they score we gotta push it…Loon and Lamb were down there fight…wild sequence but the guys did a great job of executing.”
NOTE: From Golden State Warriors win vs Atlanta Hawks, held at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. We will go live for the DET-GSW game on Wed 1/4 at 6:30PM PST, which tips off at 7:00PM.
