During the regular season, Steve Kerr was the most famous NBA coach, using 38 different initial compositions in the league. After Steph Curry fell with the stress of the lower leg in the 1 Golden State Warriors game of the second round from Minnesota Timberwolves, Kerr again had to be creative with his rotation.
Thursday in game 2, Kerr gave Jonathan Kuming 26 minutes and 23 seconds of playing time, its no longer than March 17, and Trayce Jackson-Davis 19 minutes and 18 seconds, the longest run from January 2nd.
After defeating the 117-93 Warriors, Steve Kerr said both young players would play a significant minute of movement forward in the series.
“These guys got really good and showed why they could help us win in this series, so they would be part of her (rotations), for sure,” Kerr said. “We have to think of rotations we want to start, all these things, but both guys will play a role.”
Kumingo led Warriors with 18 points and added five panels, shooting in an effective 8-for-111. Jackson-Davis scored 15 points and six rebounds, going perfectly 6-for-6 from the floor.
Jimmy Butler He finished with 17 points and seven rebounds in 13 firing attempts, while Buddy Hield added 15 points at a less effective night of 5-Z-14. Tim Steve Kerra fought outside the arch, connecting to just nine of the 32 attempts 3 points, and turned the ball over 17 times, which Timberwolves turned into 22 points.
Attack in Minnesota was Julius Randle, who recorded the highlights of a game of 24 points and 11 assists, Anthony Edwards With 20 points, nine rebounds and five assists and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who also had 20.
Steve Kerr: Warriors aimed to use a deep bench in the absence of Steph Curry
Since Steph Curry expected to miss for at least a week because of his left knee strain, AS AS A match 3 on Saturday, matches 4 on Monday and matches 5 on Wednesday, Steve Kerr said that the approach of Warriors in the game 2 was to use his depth.
“Part of the game plan that came in was a lot of people, and we succeeded,” Kerr said. “And part of the explanation is obviously the fatigue of running we were on, with all the trips and games, but we also have to understand some of it what we will be able to do without Steph in this series.
“So, we gave a lot of people a lot of chances, and then some guys really stepped up. Trayce and JK were really good at this game. You can see that their athlete was important.”
If the series starts in a full seven games, Game 6 will come after a three -day break on May 18, and a decisive game 7 scheduled for May 20th.
