Minneapolis: So, the Warriors had a big game against the Timberwolves, and guess who showed up? Yep, Steph Curry. He totally took over in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 straight points. It was like watching magic unfold on the court.
After the game, Coach Steve Kerr had some solid advice for the younger guys on the team. He pointed out a key play where the ball moved around beautifully before Steph hit a clutch three-pointer. Kerr was all about teaching them how to play smart basketball.
He said, “We have Steph Curry, so let’s pass the ball and move it around. If he gets the ball early, the defense is in trouble.” It’s all about teamwork, right? Kerr stressed that they shouldn’t be taking tough shots when they have a superstar like Steph on their side.
He really hammered home the point that passing the ball can lead to better opportunities. “If we pass it a few times, the defense gets confused, and that’s when we can score,” he explained. It’s a no-brainer, but sometimes players forget that.
Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski had a different take, though. He said he just plays without overthinking it. If he’s open, he shoots; if not, he looks to make a play. It’s interesting to see how different players interpret Kerr’s message.
Even with the win, it seems like this idea of teamwork and passing will be a big focus for the Warriors moving forward. It’ll be exciting to see how they adapt and grow as a team!
