The Golden State Warriors trounced the Sacramento Kings 130-104 in a win in the NBA regular season. After the game, Warriors coach Kerr received an interview with the media, and gave in-depth comments on the game.
Kerr showed up with wet hair and explained with a smile that it was because the players in the locker room had rained water on each other to celebrate Curry’s 4,000 career 3-point milestone. “It seems like only yesterday that Curry broke the NBA career three-point record,” Kerr said. “Every shot he takes is so exciting. Curry continues to improve, and the way he maintains his size, his shape and the pace of his game, I would hazard a guess that he will make 1,000 3s in the future.”
Speaking about Kuminga’s return to the game, Cole gave high praise: “He played very hard and brought a different content to the team. In particular, his explosive power when he hits the basket is impressive. His return has injected more energy and options into the team.” Kerr also pointed out that his opponents’ tight defense against Curry has created more opportunities for Kuminga to attack the basket: “They’re very tight on him, and it’s hard for him to find space on the perimeter. But it instead creates more attacking opportunities for post players like Kuminga.”
Kuminga finished the game with 18 points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal on 7 of 10 shooting and 4 of 6 free throws in 20 minutes off the bench. His performance has also won the approval of Cole: “Kuminga has shown his quality and potential on the pitch, his improvement is obvious. I am sure he will be an important part of the team in the future.”
In the end, Cole stressed the importance of winning for the team: “Winning solves everything, improves everything, covers everything. The key is whether we can find the rhythm of the game so that everyone can enjoy the game and contribute. Today’s match was a good example, we found a rhythm and everyone played their character to win the game together.”
Kerr’s comments not only showed his appreciation for Curry and Kuminga, but also expressed his expectations and confidence in the future of the Warriors. I believe that with the joint efforts of Kerr and the players, the Warriors will continue to create more glory in the NBA arena.
