Steve Kerr is simply in awe of Stephen Curry’s performance on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, so much so that the Golden State Warriors head coach couldn’t help but compare his superstar to a baseball pitcher throwing a no-hitter.

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have been playing some uninspiring basketball as of late.

It’s probably safe to say the Ben Simmons experiment with the Brooklyn Nets has been a colossal failure to this point.
