With the playoffs starting this weekend, Kerr’s decision to rest key players in game 81 against the Utah Jazz, Monday night seemed to be an easy one.
Clearly attempting not to repeat the same mistakes as last season, the Warriors starting lineup were on strict time restrictions.
Despite time restrictions, Durant managed to show the crowd at The Oracle he still has it, and what’s in store this season’s playoffs. Still working through a knee injury but in playing condition KD, had the crowd on their feet with his third quarter one handed dunk.
In a response to ESPN’s Ethan Sherwood Strauss comical post game interview question, GSW’s head coach ”playfully laughs off” loss as shown in the video below.
Although both teams were missing key players due to injures or the option to rest, Utah prevailed. Breaking Golden State’s 14-game winning streak , at the Oracle and ending the game 81 with the win 109-95. But Warriors fans shouldn’t be too upset, as GSW is secured as the top seed in the West for this year’s playoffs.
