National Basketball Association scores: Steve Kerr returns as Warriors host Pacers

Kerr said that the final step was getting over some symptoms relative to the surgeries, though he added that most of the pain was in areas other than his back. He did see his league-leading streak of double-doubles end at 11 games as he finished with eight rebounds. “So when he hits one, the coaches don’t even blink”. They got out to a blisteringly hot start – invoking the Rule of 15 only 6 minutes and 6 seconds into the game – then largely protected their cushion through consistently strong defense and the brilliance of Curry.

IN began the quarter on a 7-0 run, capped by a three-point play from rookie guard Joe Young, to trim a 13-point deficit to 88-82 in the second minute of the period. “Luke’s jumping out at the right time”, Kerr said. “But we play the same way, and the messages are the same”. They win often, they win without nefarious extra-curricular activities and they adhere to their noble identity. Oh, BTW, your NBA All-Star Game starter Stephen Curry led the way again, racking up another triple-double (39 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds).

“We adjusted and held the fort down while Coach Kerr was out, but just his presence, his voice, mannerisms on the bench, pre-game, all that stuff was like it’s supposed to be”.

“I felt pretty confident in the second one just because I had already done it once”, Curry told reporters, including the Oakland Tribune.

All game stories, all articles, everything about the 122-110 Golden State Warriors win over the Indiana Pacers revolved around Steve Kerr.

Steve Kerr is back on the sidelines for the Golden State Warriors.

OAKLAND, Calif. Steve Kerr had butterflies Friday night for his long-awaited season debut coaching the defending National Basketball Association champions.

Asked for his reaction to Barkley’s support, Green half-jokingly said, “Mama, I made it”. “It’s just good to be back coaching and be back with the group”.

With the Warriors now 40-4 overall and 20-0 at home, there are times when this season feels like a waking dream.

– Spurs crash Kobe anniversary – On the 10th anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s epic 81-point game against Toronto, the San Antonio Spurs made sure that glorious performance was only a fond memory for Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Kerr experienced his first obstacle since returning to the bench as he had to figure out what to do with his big men as Festus Ezeli was in foul trouble, Marreese Speights was struggling, and Andrew Bogut seems to be slowed down by injury.

Kerr, however, was a bit surprised by the attention his return received.

“He’s very confident in his offensive game”, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said of Turner. We actually got better and that’s not only Luke, but the entire staff.

The Pacers, 23-20, have a quick turnaround as they wrap up their four game road trip in Sacramento against the Kings Saturday night. “We won the final three quarters, so I was proud of how our guys competed”.

Stephen Curry had a 39 point triple double on the night, hitting eight three pointers, including two shots beyond half court (though only one of those counted).

The Golden State Warriors, if they continue this pace of play for the remainder of the regular season, and through the playoffs will cement themselves in the conversation for best single season teams of all time.

Everytime Golden State looked like they were ready to pull away, the Pacers came right back. I guess it’s easier to fire a coach than 12 players!

In his first season past year, Kerr guided Golden State to a franchise-record 67-win campaign and its first championship since 1975.
