Warriors/Pacers Postgame, Steph, Santos, Coach Kerr Reactions | Feb 8, 2024

Well how about that the last five game Road Trip the Warriors finished 41 or better was back in January of 2019 they just accomplished that on this trip going 41 on his five gamer blowing out the Indiana Pacers behind Steph Curry’s 42 points at 11 B threes and the

Warriors are feeling good they’ll have a happy flight back to the Bay Area and of course the Warriors just won their 11th Road game of the season that matches their total from a season to go and we’ll talk all about it here on tell you the Warriors post game live with the

Hall of Fame Chris Mullen NBA champion Fus ail I am Bon Hill what a win they came out smoking in the first quarter dropping 45 behind the powers of Stephen Curry Stephen Curry had 42 points tonight and that was after a rest and chill night last night you knew he was

Going to come out firing tonight but not only Steph Curry this was Jonathan kaminga driving to the to the Lane and really opening the floor for all the other guys for the bench to come in and really make their impact in this game defensively you can see the Warriors

Taking steps forward and the game like this against the Indiana Pacers who’s number one in points per game in the NBA holding them to 109 points you see the Warriors team getting better on the road and this is just a I mean four and one to cap off a road trip that’s that’s

Just has to have your confidence being built up right now no stacking wins are so important for this Warrior team and you know you always look at one game at a time but I think last night in Philadelphia with Joel embid not playing all of a sudden you start thinking about

Like we get this game over early cuz we’re going to have a fast-paced Pacer team getting up and down save our legs that’s exactly what happens so perfect execution by The Warriors last night in Philly backed it up with a great performance today Steph Curry was Dynamic uh and really set the standard

For everything going on today first quarter they put up 45 points what was he seven for seven I think from the three-point L eight for n his first seven for the first time in his career let’s hear from Stephen Curry standing by with fit Uki all right seven of seven on threes

For the first time in your career you trying to do that on Clay’s birthday as a birthday present or we going to break the rec record and take it away from him no it was nice to flirt with it for a little bit obviously I knew they were

Going to make some adjustments in the second half uh but it was nice to on a back to back in a game that we felt like we could come in here and get a win and get off to a hot start like that give us

Some energy and then it was a total team effort from there man you could go down the list of everybody that contributed tonight you know we always say it’s nice to get on the plane going home with a win and you know it was it was such a fun vibe tonight just competing

Obviously on the back to back you just got to you know match their energy play with some IQ and thankfully shots went in so it it’s good you mentioned the second game of a back toback how how do you guys look this fresh did you kind of

Come out tonight thinking okay let me kind of set the tone with my energy and and hopefully everybody kind of follow suit there I mean the young guys it’s easy for them for me Draymond and Elder Statesman you work harder or work smarter not harder as they say so you

Just try to use your IQ to be in the you know one step ahead but the rest of it is uh it was a mindset uh khle Robinson gave us to scout tonight and we know that they play extremely fast they try to get up and down um as long as you

Take care of the basketball and your alertness to get back on defense in a half court we were pretty solid and we’ve been solid for a good you know couple weeks now as long as we take care of transition defense and that’s just a mindset and a uh ability to you know

Change possessions quick and and and use your energy there now you never get the All-Star Weekend off I can’t hear you by the way so I don’t know you this interview is now cut short cuz I can’t hear uhoh the fiveyear partners over there but uh head

Shout out to uh all of dub Nation we coming home see y’all Saturday all right that’s going to be the shortest interview ever because the audio went out for Steph oh man so the Warriors win it Curry gets the rest of the night off they go four and one on the road trip

And he continues to just defy anything that we try to describe on a regular basis a b bball genius the chef was definitely cooking a look at this most games with 11 made threes Stephen Curry with 13 Klay Thompson right up there with four Daven Lillard Zack LaVine with two not sure

Anybody’s going to catch Stephen Curry in are you not entertained this is and by the way he just he Clips to 23,000 point mark So as he’s breaking records left and right he’s moving up the charts in the alltime scoring leader list we know about the three-point makes he has just an

Exceptional game and a hell of a road trip a 60 Burger in a loss in Atlanta a game they should have probably won and of course 42 big ones a night willly yeah Steph had an incredible trip the Warriors had a great 4 inone Road Trip the most

Momentum 61 I think so I think so yeah I mean we yeah we we had a great start to the season and then obviously things you know kind of went uh went haywire but um this feels like the best version of us you know just the with the starting

Lineup play the way they are um bringing guys off the bench who are giving great energy and effort and and um execution and yeah it’s a it’s a definitely a nice run that we’re on and um you know we got to got to keep keep carrying it forward

You talking about You’ been talking about how much the defense improving but what do you think that play against at hard off well um you know they average 124 a game I think number one scoring team in the league so to hold them to 109 um was pretty impressive uh

Especially after that first quarter when we gave up 34 um but Steph was um scalding hot that first quarter so for us to score 45 and you know go into the second quarter with a lead because of his Brilliance uh we were able to to get

Our defense uh settled and and I think we held him to yeah 24 in the second 18 in the third so that’s when we took took uh control of the game earlier in the year I guess during that six start we talked about the depth that this team

Has but did you expect it to be kind of at this point now where you’re getting the kinds of contributions from E from Lester even Brandon and Trace that you guys are getting no I I don’t think we knew at the beginning of the season um

How good Brandon uh was going to be U we were hoping JK would have the break through um and he’s clearly had it here in the last um last you know few weeks month um and then I think you know wigs has really picked up his game um you

Know his defense has been great just the way he um looks on the floor he’s just much more fluid and bouncy and and the the group is um it’s feeling good they’re they you know they’re enjoying um every game and they’re um they’re connected and it’s just really fun to

See what kind of identity for you see the second unit starting form how satisfi with the way that’s coming together yeah I mean I mean it’s been impressive to watch I mean Dario has been been doing this for us all year you know he’s a a postup uh nightmare you

Know so when we can get a switch and get him down on the Block and play through him we can uh be very efficient offensively and then uh you know the the surprise is just Lester and G you know which is um you know such a great Testament to our our Santa Cruz

Franchise those guys have been down there the last couple years putting in the work and um our development coaches have been working so hard with them and you look at what they’re contributing um at both ends I thought G was uh fantastic his two threes were obviously

Really key but just the rebounding the hustle um so it’s fun it’s it’s just you know when young players uh kind of break through and and impact winning it’s really exciting youer 19 23 24 24 27 minutes this yeah uh we’ already kind of talked about it like why do you think us

Just like what’s he doing to make it that high well on ball defense um number one he you know he really pressures the ball he’s bouncy he’s got a ton of energy um and then you know we we we love the the fact that he’s another ball handler playmaker same with ghee you

Know both guys are really Adept at U handling the ball in transition you saw ghee make an amazing pass to JK for a dunk um you know when you have a a a group of five guys who can all pass it just um really makes the game a lot

Easier and both Lester and uh and ghee um can take the ball handling responsibility in any possession and and um just really make The Possession click and um so it’s it’s fun to watch like I said with with Dario out there and and um you know Moses and uh you know

Different different groups with you know coming off the bench it’s it’s just great great to see them um contributing so much Gary comes back that soon and then a little bit later when Chris comes back just how that’s going to impact particularly Brandon um yeah it’s I have thought

About that but not for too long because I I’ve learned you there’s no reason to you know think too much about what’s going to happen in two weeks because everything might be totally different in two weeks so this is you know this a good problem to have we got we’ve talked

About it all year we’re going to be able to withstand injuries and absences at a lot of positions because these these young guys can all play you feel the pressure to get traced in there yeah I heard the uh the chance and you know um it was great to to see my my

Favorite play of the game is literally gets in the game and JK finds him for the lob um and you saw the Joy on JK face you know and U it’s it’s fun to see um as I said young guys kind of coming of age but um part of that is really

Enjoying the uh achievements and accomplishments of their teammates and um you know that’s that’s when it really starts to click and that’s what I’m feeling with this group right now how gets only you know he’s obviously local Legend yeah cool for you to see oh it’s great what a what a great environment

Out there and uh the whole whole crowd chanting you know his initials and then for for him to go out and do what he did and three and a half minutes was fantastic thank you cool have several guys in here shortly you guys feel like you guys

Build a little bit of momentum and know you obviously four one on thisp yeah yeah for sure like with these WIS on the especially on the road uh give us some momentum because like you feel the energy like everybody’s happy everybody everybody like know that’s that’s the

Team that we have like we have a such a good team so with these wings like we just show up to everybody that we still having a great team with theor how’ this week feel for you personally breaking through playing rotation man that was like a nice week

For me I’m not I’m not going to lie uh I’m really happy now especially uh when you has when you got the opportunities and you’re ready to to these opportunities because I’ve been working hard a lot like since last year since that I got dor here actually it’s my

Whole life but especially when I got here working in exactly what they want from me on the court and like have opportunity to show it in the court and like show it on the court and show like doing well helping the team to wins that’s the most important thing like you

See like the team is winning and I’m the court so that’s Mak me feel better what kind of chemistry do you feel like that that that unit that is developing uh like so can you again like what what kind of chemistry do you feel like the second unit has been developing

Uh man I’m going to say the energy like we the second unit is coming to the game like with a lot of energy like uh especially because we know like St is like the you saw today like what he did what he did today he’s the guy like to

To make us be in another level so we in the second Unity we know that we got to go there and play really really hard to keep like uh the the momentum really well so when he get in the game again he keep building up building up building up

When he has a first quarter like the one today what’s it likeing it’s crazy like because he just I think how many threes he hit like six seven on the first six right so and it was not like WI open shots was not like regular shots that regular players makes

Was like shoting like running around he never you never expect that he going to shoot it and then he shoot it and he make it that’s making him more special than than everybody else the best individual performance you’ve ever seen that n from Steph yeah n because I watch it against uh he

Dropped 60 62 points yeah I was in that game so that was for me that was like we like that was from another word how did your two thre feel uh feel nice especially because one thing that I was talking to Steph like because I’m always looking to let him open and he

Has like a a I don’t know how to say that but like a big gravity with him because where he at where he at everybody’s like trying to look at him like don’t let him shoot so when I said they scream and like everybody goes to

Him I’m going to be wide open and today I make these shots and that’s making me feel like good you know you excited to go home yes I can’t wait uhhuh you’re welcome
