Warriors head coach Steve Kerr did not appear happy with two late Klay Thompson heaves against the Lakers, including a leaning 3-pointer with less than two minutes to play and 14 seconds still on the shot clock.
But a floor angle of the second of two questionable threes late in Game 4 from Thompson tells a slightly different story.
Thompson — who finished with just nine points in a dire defeat that now leaves the Dubs in a 3-1 series hole — missed two questionable late threes that helped turn a 99-98 Golden State lead into a 102-99 deficit the Dubs would never recover from. The first was a 28-foot moonshot from the right side with Dennis Schroder in his shooting pocket that bricked hard right, anda leaning three with 14 seconds still on the shot clock and Lonnie Walker contesting that clanged off the left side of the rim.
The latter left Kerr clearly annoyed. His show of emotions quickly ran the gamut from an exaggerated back bend, to putting his hands on his head, to a perplexed shrug.“Think of everything he’s done for this team — part of who he is is he’s going to fire away,” Kerr said of Thompson during his postgame remarks. “There were a couple late he’d probably like to have back. But that’s part of who we are as a team, we’re going to fire.
