Kerr benched James Wiseman and JaMychal Green. But the trouble runs deeper and Kerr is in a desperate search to find answers that continued to elude him on Monday night. He’s the largest problem, considering his offensive responsibilities, future salary and current slump. Poole is still the leader of a cratering second unit.“Starting him in the second half was not only to get him going but to change the flow of the game.” “I haven’t even given that any thought,” Kerr said. Kerr didn’t reveal any decision about whether Poole might remain with the starters moving forward. He was spotted on the court in the practice facility long after the game had ended going through an extended shooting routine. Poole did hit his only shot early in the third quarter, but otherwise remained quiet. But Kerr felt mixing up Poole’s pattern might benefit him. The Warriors’ starting unit is about the only five-man group going well for them right now. This wasn’t about any struggling lineup combination. In search of a way to breathe some life into Poole, the Warriors opted to put him with the starters to open the second half, replacing Looney. He scored two points, took four shots, missed both of his 3s and committed three turnovers, including another carry. Jordan Poole is in what Kerr referred to as a “funk.” One game after going 5 of 18 in a high-usage, low-efficiency dud in New Orleans, Poole played mostly passive in his 21 minutes against the Kings.

He also had a rough defensive night against the Kings, struggling to contain Malik Monk and nearly committing a devastating foul on Huerter in the final second that would’ve given him three free throws to tie it. He is shooting 36 percent overall in his nine games.
#CURRY FLOW 8 FULL#
Because of a thin, struggling bench, Steve Kerr played Wiggins 40 minutes, Klay Thompson and Curry 38 minutes and the Warriors needed all 47 of Curry’s points to escape - at home after two off-days and a full practice - from a 3-6 Kings team on the fourth leg of a tiring four-game road trip. “I’ve never been more happy about a win in game 11 of the regular season,” Curry said.īut Curry’s heroics provided only temporary deodorant for deepening problems that can’t be ignored. Against the Kings, he identified Kevin Huerter as his late-game target and, to put the Kings away, called Huerter up, forced the switch and scored in isolation twice to produce a win the Warriors were desperate to find. In their most recent win over the Heat, Curry picked on Tyler Herro and slammed the door on Miami. The approach wasn’t complicated in the closing moments. Through 10 games, he’s now averaging 32.6 points per game on 51.2 percent shooting overall, 43 percent from 3 and 93.4 percent from the line. He had eight rebounds, eight assists and zero turnovers. He just wasn’t gonna allow us to lose.”Ĭurry finished with 47 points on 17 of 24 shooting. “It was very Game 4 of the NBA Finals to me. “Take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt,” Draymond Green said. But it did represent the forceful side of Curry, a mode he activated in the second half and didn’t turn off for the final 18 minutes. Curry’s teammates - besides Andrew Wiggins, who hit two clutch 3s and delivered an overall steady performance - didn’t jolt to life. The technical didn’t serve as the obvious pivot point in an eventual 116-113 win. Steph is absolutely HEATED there wasn't a foul called 😡 /Ji58SDcBrt “Maybe that’ll be this year’s version of that.” “I see a lot of jokes about me kicking a chair a couple of years ago and us going on a run after that,” Curry said. They were down again in the third quarter to the Kings when Curry finally let loose on a referee. Their reconfigured bench continues to bleed. They blew a 10-point first-half lead right after Curry subbed off the floor.
