Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was asked about the league's last two minute (L2M) report on the controversial ending of their overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. The 53-year-old refused to comment but slipped in some sarcastic remarks.
Per Mark Medina of The Mercury News, Kerr was asked the L2m report by the NBA about their loss to the Wolves on Friday.
“I’m still trying to figure out what the definition is of a hot-stove call. As soon as somebody tells me what that means, maybe I’ll comment. “I will not be commenting on the last two minute report. I'm gonna focus on the game tonight. Something that is actually worthy of talking about.”

Kerr was talking about the play involving Josh Okogie and Stephen Curry. In the play, Okogie appeared to deliberately place his right foot near Curry's right ankle. Curry the drained a 3-pointer to cut the Timberwolves lead to 128-125 with 22.9 seconds left in overtime. The two-time MVP came up hobbling a bit after the said play.
The report said that Okogie “makes marginal ‘hot-stove' contact with Curry's (GSW) leg after the release of his jump shot attempt and does not affect his ability to land safely.” In effect, the no-call by the referees was the correct call.
Kerr has usually been outspoken with regard to the officials' ‘bad' calls. This time, he chose to remain silent which pretty much speaks volumes on how he felt about the no-call.
