The frustration continues to mount for the entire Golden State Warriors team, as their season continues on a seemingly uncontrollable downward spiral. So much so, that head coach Steve Kerr sustained a hand injury on the bench when he broke a clipboard out of sheer frustration.
Steve Kerr broke a clipboard tonight — the first of the two he said he's allotted per year — and it cut his hand. Had a towel for the blood on the bench. Said he was upset after a bad stretch of transition defense that put this W in danger. "We were 3-15 coming in," he said.

Coach Kerr was in a bit of a lighter mood following the game, as he was able to joke about his brief fit of rage during the contest.

Fortunately for the Warriors, they were finally able to get that elusive win on Wednesday, as they defeated the Chicago Bulls, 104-90. It was by no means an easy win, though, and Kerr's injury serves as proof that this victory did not come without any drama.
Warriors rookie Eric Paschall was outstanding yet again for the Dubs, logging a team-high 25 points (on 9-of-17 shooting), two 3-pointers, seven rebounds, three assists, and just one turnover in 36 minutes of play.
Golden State were also happy to get All-Star forward Draymond Green (seven points, five rebounds, eight assists) back following a three-game absence, but new recruit D'Angelo Russell remained on the sidelines along with Stephen Curry, Kevon Looney, and Klay Thompson.
For his part, coach Kerr will definitely be glad that his team finally earned a much-needed victory, but surely, this will do very little in terms of making up for what has been nothing short of a disastrous season for the defending Western Conference champs.
