Steve Kerr finds the positives in Golden State’s loss to Dallas

Steve Kerr found reasons to be pleased with the Golden State Warriors in their loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Golden State Warriors suffered a loss at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. It was their third loss in the last 10 games, giving them a 7-3 record over a stretch that included a difficult Eastern Conference road trip. Fortunately, the Warriors remain in 10th place in the Western Conference despite the loss.

When speaking to the media as part of his postgame press conference, head coach Steve Kerr discussed the positives he saw. He specifically pointed out the defense and intensity his team showed throughout. 

“Love the way our guys fought,” Kerr said. “Hung in there, down whatever we were. … Our guys, the level of competition and unity, just the way they fought short-handed, with guys out, on a back-to-back. Older group of guys, Steph, Klay, CP, Dray, just amazing effort. I love these guys. They’re incredible.”

Kerr likely hopes his team can continue to play with a similar level of intensity and unity over the final few games of the season. The Warriors will need that edge and connectedness if they’re going to navigate what projects to be a difficult play-in tournament.

Golden State is finding its momentum at the perfect time. If it can quickly bounce back from its loss to Dallas, it should continue surging toward the playoffs. Of course, there will be tough games ahead if it wants to achieve that goal.
