Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is not happy with the ending of their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, especially after they lost via a controversial foul call.
The Dubs bowed down to the Timberwolves in overtime, 131-30. However, the team should have won the game or even extended it to a second OT after Kevin Durant banked a 3-pointer and got the foul with less than five seconds remaining on the clock.
Durant was obviously shocked with the missed call and the waiving of his 3-pointer, as it was obviously a four-point play. Had it been called correctly, the Dubs would have won, with Stephen Curry even banking a triple with 0.5 left.
Kerr was understandably upset with the result of the game, and he pointed out that the missed call on Durant in the closing seconds was “mind boggling.”

The Warriors led by as much as 19 points in the game, so it's easy to argue that they are still the ones to blame for allowing the Timberwolves to claw their way back. Nonetheless, that doesn't deny them the right to be disappointed given the way they lost.
Stephen Curry had a great game and even scored nine points off three 3-pointers in the final 93 seconds of OT. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant finished with an all-around effort of 23 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks.
The NBA will likely review the play for their Last 2 Minute report, though that still won't ease the disappointment of Steve Kerr and his Warriors.
