Looks like one Golden State Warriors personnel getting ejected from the game is a regular sighting now. It was Draymond Green last time. On Monday, it was head coach Steve Kerr.
Warriors were down by double digits for most of the game but they battled back. Kerr was ejected for getting two technical fouls in the fourth quarter when they were down by just eight points. Clippers were awarded two free throws and they saw the deficit get up to 10.
Stephen Curry, who fouled out in the game and was not there to take the last shot that could have given them a chance to win, thought Kerr’s anger was warranted and that it poured down over to them, reason why they were able to get back in the game.
“Coach did the right thing. We responded the right way, gave ourselves a chance to win.”

He also said that the play in question was a clear goal tend. Warriors lost by just one point and had the chance to win it but Jimmy Butler missed the two-point shot in the corner.

Terry Stotts took over for Steve Kerr
Kerr is not shy in getting his emotions heard. He could have done it post-game but the team decided to not put him in front of reporters. His main assistant Terry Stotts took over for him.
“T’m up here because I’m saving Steve some money.”

“What particularly? I think it was that goaltending call that was missed. There were probably some other things, but that was the last straw, probably. I don’t want to speak for Steve,” he said.
“I didn’t see a replay but it seemed at the time that it was obvious that it was a goaltend.”
