Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals was a game that the Golden State Warriors should've won. Head coach Steve Kerr knows this fact, and he didn't take it too well.
As reported by Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle, Kerr confessed that he lost sleep thinking of the things he could've done right:
“I didn’t sleep very well last night. There were some things I could’ve done better.”
Perhaps one of the things that were on his mind was the no-timeout call with around four seconds remaining in the game. Steve Kerr is known for this. Even in the closing seconds, he opts not to call a timeout and just let it play.
However, he admitted after the loss that he indeed wanted a timeout, but the officials weren't able to notice them. As reported by Chris Haynes of ESPN, Kerr said:
“Well, I wanted the timeout,” Kerr said. “Draymond was trying to call one around 4 seconds, once he got trapped. And at that point the officials weren't looking, and they're not going to look down at our bench. So I saw Draymond trying to call it and I was hoping they'd give it to us, but we didn't get it.
“But I'm always a proponent of pushing the ball off of a miss rather than taking a timeout, letting the defense get set up. So, I thought we'd get a better shot in transition. That's why I let them play.”
The Warriors will obviously be hoping to move forward with better games ahead of them.
