NBA Playoffs: Darvin Ham stays above the fray; Steph Curry named second-team All-NBA
SAN FRANCISCO – One day after Warriors coach Steve Kerr bemoaned what he felt were glaringly obvious flops by Los Angeles Lakers players trying to draw charges, his counterpart, Darvin Ham, claimed the high road, saying he didn’t want to get into a back-and-forth regarding any contentious calls by NBA officials.
“I just control what I can control. That’s coaching my team,” Ham said. “I don’t go down the rabbit hole, pointing fingers, blaming the official. I never did when I was an assistant coach and I don’t want to start now. Our job is to try to put together the best plan to be successful.” All of that had resulted in 47 additional points for Los Angeles through four games, as the Lakers led the Western Conference semifinal series three games to one before Wednesday.
“I give them credit,” Kerr said Tuesday. ‘If you can sell a call in this league, then do it. You do whatever it takes to win.”Steph Curry was selected to the All-NBA team for the ninth time in his career, with the league announcing Wednesday that the two-time MVP had been named to the second team.
