Steve Kerr dishes out punishment to Warriors guard after horror mistake

Brandin Podziemski has been viewed by many as a favorite of Steve Kerr's over his first three seasons in the league, but even he wasn't immune to a place on the bench following a horror defensive mistake in the first-quarter of the Golden State Warriors' 134-117 victory over the Utah Jazz at Chase Center on Monday night.

The Warriors got off to a slow start in the opening period, signified by Podziemski's defensive lapse that left Keyonte George -- who had already drilled his first three 3-pointers -- wide open on the right wing. The young guard duly knocked down his fourth three, forcing a timeout from an irate Kerr who was frustrated with his team's lack of defensive attentiveness.
