Coach Steve Kerr addressed his comments alleging the Lakers got away with a few flops in the fourth quarter on Tuesday.
How could he?
In the immediate aftermath of the defeat that put the Warriors in a 3-1 series hole and on the brink of elimination, Kerr said he thought the Lakers “took some flops and were rewarded” down the stretch. Kerr took issue with the foul called on Draymond Green near the 3:29 mark of the fourth quarter when the game was tied at 96. Green attempted to set a screen on Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV, who tumbled to the floor upon contact. After the play stopped, Green waved his hands in disagreement and appeared frustrated with the call.“It’s a blatant block. I mean, he just takes a dive and the ref bought it,” Kerr said.
Kerr said the NBA should more strictly enforce rules to deter players from flopping, similar to what FIBA has done to squash the issue.
