Kerr argues with officials, is ejected against Suns

At the official Suns-Warriors game last night at Golden State, the first recorded event was an offensive foul by former Kia MVP winner Stephen Curry. This game was apparently enough for the Warrior coach Steve Kerr to call the officials and be tempted by his brilliance.

Barely nine seconds after the start of the third quarter, the Warriors played a play in which Curry showed a screen on Trevor Ariza des Suns while Kevin Durant cut the back door. Shaquille Harrison, the keeper of the Ariza and Suns, mingled with Curry, who was called for foul.

Curry then played with the officials about the call, scoring a technical foul, which then led Kerr to the field and argue with the officials. Prior to the opening match of the third quarter, the Warriors had been whistled for five offensive fouls in their final 117-109 loss to the Suns.

The official Ben Taylor then expelled Kerr, who, according to many reports, told the game officials "I do not want to be here anyway," before saying goodbye and getting out of the field. After the match, Kerr joked about his ejection, but also stated that he deserved it for his actions.

"We had a good spread after the match," Kerr told reporters afterwards. "This is generally the case at the end of the third quarter. I wanted to be the first at the buffet.

"I was trying to make a point and save my guys. We had all these fouls one after the other. I've finally had enough. … I was frustrated and I was wrong, obviously. I had what I deserved.

Connor Letourneau of San Franciso Chronicle note that after Kerr's ejection, the Warriors showed a little more spark and activity in the game.

The good news for the Warriors was that Kerr feeling thrown to the ground seemed to provide a jolt of energy that had missed most of the game. Until then, Golden State had needed just over 24 minutes to yield 61 points to the Devin Booker less Suns. After Kerr disappeared into the tunnel, the players were more precise with their defensive readings, they worked outside the screens and put their hands on the shooters along the perimeter.

Nevertheless, the Warriors do not want to rely on referees with referees to play with a playoff-level excitement. The opponents, recognizing the disadvantage of the talents, will try to do everything in their power to annoy Golden State and that the All-Stars are dismissed from the match. By integrating with the goals of the other team, the Warriors were only hurting their chances of winning a third consecutive NBA title.

After the match, Curry told reporters that he appreciated Kerr's defense of him and the entire team, writes Mark Medina of The Mercury News.

"We are all in the same boat, we have to have each other's backs," said Curry, "this is one of our fundamental principles." He has the opportunity to try to influence things with explosions when he needs them and things that he says in the locker room.Anyway, knowing that we are giving everything we have all through the year the coach supports you, he does not pinch his wallet when he has the opportunity, and when he speaks, it means a lot. "

Moreover, it seemed that the Warriors could not help being somewhat amused by Kerr's reaction to his deportation.

"It was funny, I knew something was going to happen," said Warrior guard Quinn Cook, "I remember seeing this on ESPN and seeing it on Instagram before I came here." It was the first time I saw him in person – it was cool. "
