• Steve Kerr postgame on giving up 79 in the first half: “This team is very capable (OKC)… tough to guard… four guys at about 6’7 who can all dribble, pass and shoot and Shai is almost impossible to keep out of the paint… getting some ball pressure and intensity.”
• On when it was known Klay would not play; “Just right before our walkthrough… unexpected and just flared up.”
• On guys stepping up without Klay: “Moses and Donte off the bench were both huge. Moses, I can’t say enough… so mature. Over the last couple weeks… strength around the basket… when Bob and I asked him how he was doing… ‘Look, I chose to develop in the NBA”… most mature answer I’ve ever seen anybody give… incredible attitude. The work is paying off.”
• On if he ages from these comebacks: “Tbh I age a little bit more on the road… we have such a connection (at Chase)… thrive off the energy… the force that comes from Draymond and Steph… they understand these games take a long time. 48 minutes is a lot of time. Their ability to get stops… we feel like we’re always in the game.”
NOTE: From OKC Thunder at Golden State Warriors, held at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. WE WILL GO LIVE WITH GSW-SAC ON FRI 4/7 AT 7:00PM PDT TIPOFF.
