NEW YORK \u2014 Late in the second quarter of Sunday night\u2019s game at Madison Square Garden, with the lead slipping away in what would eventually be a 110-107 Warriors loss<\/a> to the Knicks, Steve Kerr was caught on camera screaming<\/a> and pointing at Will Richard after a turnover.<\/p>\n

The play that set the Warriors\u2019 coach off saw Brandin Podziemski try to hit the streaking Richard on a breakaway. Podziemski\u2019s outlet was long and sent Richard chasing after it on the sidelines. As Richard fell out of bounds, he threw the ball back in bounds to Podziemski, but the wild pass bounced off his teammate and gave the Knicks possession.<\/p>\n

Kerr later said he wished he had not been so demonstrative after Richard was involved in a second negative play in a row. OG Anunoby hit a 3-pointer on the next play, and Richard was pulled after Kerr called timeout.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill had just gotten an offensive foul pushing off, so I was upset with him,\u201d Kerr said, before adding, \u201cI kind of regret losing my composure, because it\u2019s my job to keep the guys going, especially when we\u2019re without so many players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard finished with five points and three steals in 29 minutes, including a poster dunk on Anunoby in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The Warriors were down eight players<\/a>, including Steph Curry, Al Horford, De\u2019Anthony Melton and Kristaps Porzingis. Facing such a talent deficit against a full-strength Knicks team, every turnover stung for the longtime coach.<\/p>\n

Kerr also believed that both players involved in the turnover were at fault.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a bad pass from BP, and BP should have made a good pass and Will\u2019s got a dunk and it turns into a five-point swing,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cI was mad at Will because I thought he could have corralled the ball. I thought he was trying to make an around-the-back pass for a score. I might be wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warriors committed nine turnovers in the second quarter and saw a 21-point lead whittled down to just nine by halftime. But in the end, Kerr said it was on him as the coach to maintain his composure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI probably shouldn\u2019t have gotten as mad as I was,\u201d Kerr said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK \u2014 Late in the second quarter of Sunday night\u2019s game at Madison Square Garden, with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662169,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3785],"tags":[7,160,164,423,6,162,66,422,427,3972],"class_list":{"0":"post-662168","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-utah-jazz","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-golden-state-warriors","11":"tag-jazz","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-san-francisco","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-utah","16":"tag-utah-jazz","17":"tag-utahjazz"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116242399919716320","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
