“He was already coaching with the Australian National Team, and obviously learning under [Gregg Popovich] has its advantages, and I know that from first-hand experience”, said Kerr. “We don’t care about the stats”. Before the game, he praised Green for admitting to selfishly chasing a triple-double in the Warriors’ win the previous night at Philadelphia.

Dwight Powell had six straight points for all his scoring to give the Mavericks the lead for good in the fourth quarter. “We want to move the ball”.

NY led by two points after one quarter, holding the Warriors to a season-low 18 points in the first quarter. Klay Thomson scored 28 points to lead the Warriors. The Warriors’ 65.3-percent shooting was also the best by a Philadelphia opponent in any half this season.

The Warriors’ response? They shot 14 for 17 in the second, as Green collected seven of his assists. “We were right there and they went to more of a level that they’re capable of getting to and got some separation”. In the first stanza the Warriors claimed fewer field goals than turnovers, infuriating Kerr to the point of clipboard violence in the second quarter.

Thompson scored 12 of the team’s 20 points during that stretch, which included a pair of 3-pointers.

The Warriors are favored by 11 points over NY and the Over/Under (O/U) is sitting at 217 points.
