Mike D’Antoni jokes Warriors players tried to call plays during All-Star game

The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors are currently locked into a head-to-head battle for conference supremacy. Although, the two sides have pushed their rivalry aside, at least for the All-Star break.

Just last week, Steve Kerr caused some drama when he decided to let his players coach against the Suns. Kerr explained that his voice wasn’t being heard in the locker room, so he figured a temporary change in the huddle would give his guys a spark. The experiment worked, as the Warriors annihilated the Suns by 46 points.

Since Steve Kerr coached the All-Star Game last season, Mike D’Antoni was given the opportunity to coach this year (at the time of the announcement of the All-Star game coaches, the Warriors had the best record).
