More misery for the Warriors! They headed into tonight’s Celtics clash hoping to carry the momentum from the back-to-back wins in the previous two games. But missing multiple key players due to injury proved extremely costly as Jayson Tatum and Co. handed them their worst home loss in forty years. Yes, the Bay Area franchise got blown out by a whopping forty points. However, Steve Kerr is focused on preparing for the next game instead of dwelling on tonight’s embarrassing defeat.
Addressing the loss, Kerr said postgame, “We kind of take it week by week and we’ve got Sacramento on Wednesday and we gotta flush this one down the toilet and we get ready for Sac.” Although the head coach acknowledged that getting blown out like they did tonight is “demoralizing” for the entire team, he credited the players for giving maximum effort amid adversity, “We’ve been very competitive all year and our guys have fought.”
Moreover, he had a direct order for them following the tough loss, “Most important thing for me is for our guys to forget this one. We have a day off tomorrow and be ready to roll in Sacramento on Wednesday.” Yes, Kerr wants Stephen Curry and Co. to get over this loss quick and prepare for another road game against the Kings two days from now.
