The Warriors did not hear a fiery speech. They did not hear a sob story, either.
When Warriors coach Steve Kerr addressed the team about Draymond Green’s recent spat with Kevin Durant, Kerr offered an honest, pragmatic and optimistic message.
“‘One incident in November can’t taint the next six months and what we’re trying to accomplish,’” Warriors guard Stephen Curry recalled Kerr saying. “He spoke about that clearly.”
The Warriors (12-5) took Monday off, punctuating a week in which Kerr handled something more serious than a winless three-game trip, overlapping injuries and fluid rotations. Then, the Warriors conveyed optimism they can heal their tired and injured bodies.
