The Indiana Pacers did it again on back-to-back road games. First, they defeated the Lakers, who were enthusiastic after the win against the Jazz. Thursday night they stole a game against the second-best team from the West, the Golden State Warriors.
the Pacers stayed put on the night, they were missing the starting backcourt duo of Malcolm Brogdon and Caris LeVert, also the starting center Domantas Sabonis because of injuries.
Stephen Curry shooting 6/16 from the 3-point line scored 39 points in the game but none in overtime. Overall, the Warriors were cold from downtown with Klay Thompson, Nemanja Bjelica, Jordan Poole, and Garry Payton II going a combined 0/15.
But the game went to overtime because of a blunder on the Pacers’ last possession in the regulation when the Dubs allowed Justin Holiday to shoot a game-tying 3 with 6 seconds left to send the game into OT.
It was a disastrous mistake by the Warriors coach and he got blasted on Twitter for it after the game.
NBA Twitter rips Steve Kerr for sleeping on an easy play
Golden State was 3-points up and could have fouled any Pacers’ player to let them shoot two from the charity line, but Steve Kerr designed the play otherwise and Justin Holiday made him and the Warriors pay by tying the game with just over 6 seconds left on the game clock. After the game, he did take the blame for it.
But NBA Twitter had already taken out its frustration on the 3-time champion coach by the time.
Some in Dubs Nation believe that without Draymond Green, Steve can’t do it.
Let’s just hope the Warriors can get it together soon. Otherwise, who knows how harsh the fans will come at Steve Kerr next time around.
