When the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors face-off, sparks fly—especially in recent times. So, when the two teams clashed in a recent high-stakes game, fans had already marked the date on their calendars, anticipating a game filled with twists and thrilling moments. The match unfolded with dramatic turns and pivotal plays. However, since then, the revered Warriors coach, Steve Kerr, has been receiving significant criticism from fans.

The Warriors are known for their third-quarter prowess. However, against the Kings, the tide turned against them during that crucial stretch. Ultimately, they squandered a 24-point lead, washing away their chance in the In-Season tournament.

Steve Kerr accepts all the blame

Steve Kerr, in an unexpected turn of events, made questionable decisions late in the game, inadvertently paving the way for a Sacramento Kings comeback. One misstep was challenging a foul call, which triggered a significant backlash. Another error was sidelining Moses Moody, who was on a hot streak (4-4 from the field and 3-3 from beyond the arc).

Now, within less than 24 hours of the game, Kerr admits to grappling with the weight of his choices. According to @957thegame, Kerr confessed to Willard and Dibs, “Both decisions kept me up last night for sure… I deserve all the heat I’m taking today. I can tell you that.”

However, it turned out that his experimental approach crumbled in the face of the intense matchup. The odds were against the Warriors from the start, as they required a 12-point margin victory to advance in the In-Season race. To compound their challenges, injuries to Chris Paul and Gary Payton II further added to their struggles.

Why did Kerr snub Moses Moody?

During the post-game interview, Kerr defended his decisions by asserting the necessity of having Andrew Wiggins on the floor, particularly to defend De’Aaron Fox. Additionally, the 58-year-old coach states the quandary he was in, needing to choose between keeping either Moody or Klay Thompson on the court. However, he chose to demonstrate trust in his veteran.
