Steve Kerr demonstrated just how his Golden State Warriors lost focus against the Oklahoma City Thunder during Wednesday night's loss, as a reporter asked him if his team had lost its concentration against their Western Conference foe.
ESPN's Chris Haynes: “A lot of those turnovers, it seemed like they were thrown right to them, was that just a matter of concentration or focus at that point?”
Steve Kerr: “I'm sorry, I lost my focus and concentration. What did you say? (smiles)”
“Yeah, it was that kind of night. We didn't have any focus or concentration tonight. The millennials couldn't lock-in tonight and the coach couldn't do much either. Long night.”

Kerr's usual candor is usually coupled with an inimitable flair for sarcasm is only rivaled by his self-deprecating approach in times like this.
The Warriors helmsman owned up to being outcoached by Billy Donovan on Wednesday, and that playing a huge part in the game. The Thunder constantly got their hands in passing lanes and exploited Golden State's care-free passing, jumping on every opportunity to turn defense into offense, which cashed in big with a 17-point lead at the half.
A lack of concentration was just one of the problems his team faced, making this the second loss to a championship-aspiring team in the span of a week.
