Overview
- Kerr received two technical fouls and was ejected with 7:57 remaining after protesting a non-call on John Collins’ block of Gary Payton II.
- Crew chief Brian Forte said the play should have been ruled goaltending and noted it wasn’t reviewable because it occurred before the final two minutes.
- A delayed whistle also wiped out a made Stephen Curry floater on a foul ruled before the gather, escalating tensions on the Warriors’ bench.
- Golden State lost 103-102 to the Clippers as Curry finished with 27 points and fouled out for the first time since 2021.
- Players and staff publicly supported Kerr, with Terry Stotts taking the postgame podium “to save Steve some money,” and Draymond Green urging the league to consider rescinding any fine.
