• Steve Kerr postgame Game 3, on Q2: “We had a lot of turnovers… taking quick shots… fed into their transition… that’s when the game changed.”
• On the energy: “…mid-2nd quarter… lost our poise… four technicals in the first half, 12 turnovers… gotta be more poised.”
• On what makes it hard to regain the poise: “Tough environment… easier in the regular season… everything is magnified in the playoffs… a bad stretch can turn into a longer stretch against a team like the Lakers… great players… let our foot off the gas… they dominated the game.”
• On Reaves guarding Steph: “Just tough night for everybody… 25 assists and 19 turnovers… turned into 27 points… shot 20 more free throws than we did… this was a Laker game, dominating from the foul line and getting out in transition… they controlled it.”
• On Klay: “all of our guys were in a rush…”
• On what the locker room was like: “Everybody’s obviously down… nobody’s happy.”
• On the see saw between games: “Very confident in our abilities to bounce back.”
• On the challenges of the Draymond fouls: “…when we challenged I think it was Draymond’s fourth foul. Block charges are tough to get generally.”
