After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called the experience a humbling one. He even admitted that the team is reeling right now.
“It was just a humbling night all around. They took it to us. They were great,” Kerr said.
Steve Kerr called tonight “humbling.” He gives all the credit to Memphis and how good the Grizz were defensively. He said they denied Steph on everything and said the Warriors are “reeling.” But he says he knows this team will “bounce back and we’re gonna regroup.”

Despite getting humbled, Kerr still has high hopes for his Warriors squad and knows that they’re going to bounce back.
“I know we’re going to bounce back, I’m not concerned about that,” Kerr said. “But we’ve got a lot to work to do to execute and learn how to execute under pressure and take care of the ball and get good shots.”

It looked like the Warriors may have found their groove after a statement win against the Minnesota Timberwolves this month, but the team has fallen into a three-game losing streak yet again. It doesn’t get any easier either, as they have the Timberwolves waiting for them again on Saturday night.
