Steve Kerr Postgame Interview – Warriors overcome triple-double by Luka to beat Mavericks 104-100

Steve Kerr Postgame Interview – Warriors overcome triple-double by Luka to beat Mavericks 104-100

Presented by BMW Dallas they get out to a 9 nothing start then in between the second and third quarter they in a row and then in the fourth quarter they had a 13-2 run feels like a game if this game was like six weeks ago you might not have pulled

It out but through the es and flows of the game you guys still hung on to win where do you see kind of the growth over I guess those last six just the level of competition was fantastic you know we we stuck with it through all those uh bad

Spells that you talked about um but you know it was our def defense that that uh that got us a win I mean holding those guys to 100 points is U pretty difficult I thought wigs was brilliant you know he just um he put in so much effort just

Trying to make Luca work and um Luca was amazing as he always is but um you know that effort really set a tone and I like the uh the stretch at the end of the third I thought Chris uh Paul came in and and really changed the game for us

Um with that flurry at the end of the third and that gave us the lead going into the fourth and and that was an important stretch stepen more on Wiggins did you sense that from the beginning that there was energy there that there was force there and do you think he kind

Of his offense kind of fed off his defense on on Don D yeah I mean wigs has been playing really well you know really um good two-way basketball now for a while he had a off night in San Antonio the other night but um overall um you know he’s U he’s been aggressive

Offensively he’s getting downhill um and he’s defending at a high level I just think he’s in a really good Rhythm he’s in um feeling good you know physically and um playing at uh playing at a high level he was uh definitely you know connecting the game tonight you know in

Terms of um the defense um on donic and just overall energy leading to some some really good offensive possessions as well it’s been kind of like all defense for you guys in this five-game win streak how how believable is this stretch and what about it you know makes you feel like it’s

Sustainable well um you know this team obviously is a is playing at a a really high level they were probably the hottest team in the league coming into tonight they they made a really difficult trip by the way and obviously with the schedule shift um you know they

Had to they were in Sacramento for about four days and then flew to Houston and turned right around and of course now we’re about to do the same thing but for them it was a was a pretty rough rough trip and I appreciate um not that we had

Any choice but the fact that you know everybody you know shifted the schedule around to make this work um you know that’s that that’s meaningful but um I just think that um you know that’s a great team regardless of fatigue and the flight and all that they’re still really

Hard to guard and um we held them to 100 points so uh to me that that’s a good sign that what we did on the road was was not flukish where’s your cowboy hat off as he fell where’s the roll let’s take a look at the wild wild

Western Conference standies look at the top three right there Denver Minnesota Oklahoma City Oklahoma City actually lost tonight so they’re going to drop a game out they’re now in third place but look at the bottom there the warriors with a two three game advantage over the Houston Rockets three games in a lost

Column essentially four games due to the tiebreak so it feels like they’re in a good spot there but Sacramento gets a huge win to stay in the seventh spot but more importantly the Warriors are separating themselves from the Houston Rockets getting faster you on a horse or

You on a ball or something what’s going on your horse needs some WD40 man over here squeaking man hey Rockets lose tonight Warriors win they get a big win and now that separation I’m almost ready to call it I won’t do that yet but basically a four game lead over to

Houston Rockets you get in them possibly Thursday night with a with a win down there at the Toyota Center okay so I don’t like to overreact I don’t like to underreact I really want to look things as as objectively as I can so the Warriors right I never really worried

That much about the Houston Rockets not because they were they were making a run but I think the Warriors have to focus on themselves focus on the defense focus on the offense focus on getting the bench playing together and focus on the starters coming together focus on health

All these are things that I think that the Warriors if they have all these things firing that it doesn’t matter what’s going on with the Houston Rockets it doesn’t really matter what’s happening in the Box whoever they face in the playoffs play in whatever situation I feel like they have the

Confidence with their experience that they can do it but the the the these games left are about getting that chemistry together it’s about boosting your morale it’s about getting guys to be together that connectiv connectivity we we talked about all year long this is the time to get all that right and

Getting Jonathan kaminga back and healthy that’s going to be a big thing for them um yeah you you the standings there it speaks to the the depth in the Weston conference the the parody and and much like in a game creating separation at some point during the season so

That’s that the records are what they are I think they are safe from Houston uh but more importantly as fezy said starting to really play really good winning basketball and getting that confidence and that feel that you know what we are ready for anybody yeah seven left there including that Texas twep

Coming up Thursday and Friday but let’s take a look at our keys of the game we are tracking tonight’s keys to success courtesy and my fitness P the number one new
