Friday night featured the most physical game of the NBA Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers topping the Golden State Warriors 137-116 in Game 4.
It also featured many controversial and questionable calls both ways that had a big impact on the flow of the contest. With that in mind, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr avoided commenting on the officiating following the game, according to Anthony Slater of the San Jose Mercury.
Steve Kerr asked about the officiating in general tonight: "Nice try."

Although Kerr did not address the situation, he clearly did not have anything good to say about how the game was officiated. He did not want to get fined thousands of dollars for his honest opinion concerning the subject even if there was credence to what he stated.
There were numerous missed calls and bad makeup calls that did not allow for the Warriors to gather any fluidity on the court. Things got extremely topsy-turvy in the third quarter with emotions boiling over on both sides. However, it set the tone for the rest of the game with some added chippiness playing a role.
Instead of focusing his attention on that matter, Kerr has to quickly shift gears to the task of helping direct the Warriors to a series-clinching win on Monday night back home at Oracle Arena. Golden State dominated the first two games of the NBA Finals at this venue and are hoping to do the same in Game 5.
