Golden State’s Secret to Success: Steve Kerr’s Unpopular Decision Revealed as Key to Warriors’ Winning Streak

Coming into the game on the back of an embarrassing loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Golden State Warriors needed a reaction and after the first quarter, it looked like they had it.

They raced out of the blocks into a 34-12 lead but needed to hold off a late rally from the Timberwolves, who took the last quarter 37-29, to secure a close win.

Steph Curry top-scored for the Warriors with Andrew Wiggins following closely behind, while Anthony Edwards continued his dominating run of form.

However, Steve Kerr wasn’t very pleased after the win, admitting to doing something he “hates” afterward but acknowledging he’s got no choice.

Steve Kerr “hates” doing it

The motto of this golden era at the Warriors under Steve Kerr has been “Strength in Numbers” but that motto has gone for a spin lately.

After starting the season with a remarkably deep roster, the reality has struck hard and the lack of consistency combined with a drop in form has seen them tumble down in standings.

As a result, Kerr has leaned further into the tried-and-trusted, with Steph Curry playing a team-high 37 points against the Timberwolves.

For a player who’s always been protected, especially in the regular season, that is a new occurrence and the most worrying thing is that each and every single of those 37 minutes was needed for the Warriors to escape with just a narrow win.
