Warriors coach Steve Kerr was upset and shared his mind on bizarre’ fouls late in warriors’ loss
Steve Kerr isn’t one to blame the referees after a loss. He came as close as he will allow himself to following the Warriors’ 110-108 last-second defeat to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night at Chase Center.
“I thought the two fouls at the end were bizarre — bizarre fouls,” the Warriors’ coach said.
Call him biased, say what you want but Kerr wasn’t just sticking up for his guys. He was talking about both sides. None of it made much sense to him, and it’s easy to see why.
With 9.2 seconds remaining and the score tied at 107 apiece, Jordan Poole missed a step-back 3-pointer. Rookie Jonathan Kuminga made a great hustle play to get an offensive rebound, throw it up behind his head before falling out of bounds and the ball landed in Andrew Wiggins’ hands. That’s where the start of this chaos ensued.

Once they’re back home, the Warriors will host the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz.
The Spurs game wasn’t one that had a huge impact on the Warriors’ playoff picture, but as they play more games that do, they understand the one that got away to San Antonio could haunt them.

“We have to understand that we are undermanned, we have 11 games left, we’re looking at the playoffs,” Kerr said. “There’s got to be a sense of urgency. There’s got to be a sense of competitive fight that we take to the other team from the very beginning.”
