Among fans, referees have been one of the hottest topics in the playoffs. However, the Golden State coach showed a different view from most and did not blame the adverse score on the judges.

“We didn’t lose the third game because of the referees. There is no reason, then, for us to complain about anything. There are certainly markings that we don’t like throughout the game. But every coach and athlete can say that on any given night. This result has nothing to do with anything other than our performance“, analyzed Kerr about the refereeing.

“We are in the same situation as last year, during the finals: we lost the series after three games, in Boston. And we know what we need to do, because we’ve done it before. But I don’t think it’s a mandatory win. You can only be eliminated, after all, when the opponent has three wins. I believe that as long as we have games to play, we will have a chance of winning the series.“, he completed.
