MEMPHIS — As his team got off to a sputtering start against the Memphis Grizzlies in their Western Conference semifinal series, Steve Kerr, the first-year coach of the Golden State Warriors, met with Stephen Curry, his prize pupil, and emphasized a couple of points.
“Make the simple play,” Kerr recalled in an interview Friday night outside the Warriors’ locker room at FedEx Forum. “Move the ball and trust that it will come back to you.”
Kerr added: “Sometimes, he gets a little carried away — over-dribbling — because he’s so talented. In some ways, I think the most talented players are the ones who have to make the most difficult choices because they’re capable of anything.
