With a nine-point leadthe Golden State Warriors went into halftime of Game 1 of the 2016 NBA Finals over the meeting Cleveland Cavaliers. Yet poor defensive start to the second from last quarter and some solid shot making by the Cavs chop that lead down instantly, driving Warriors mentor Steve Kerr to call a timeout to talk it over ... furthermore, clearly, work out some dissatisfaction on his whiteboard all the while.

Of course, Steve Kerr may toss out the laid-back West Coast vibe, however don't give the smooth taste a chance to trick you; he's out of this world aggressive, and clearly, he has hands of stone. Steve Kerr said after the game that the team turned out after halftime and totally lost concentration and tossing inconsiderate passes. He added that the team got lost protectively a few circumstances, and needed to sort of recapture their concentration, reports Daily Mail.

Behind stellar excursions from reserves Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala and Leandro Barbosa, Golden State Warriors reconstruct their lead with a 15-0 third-and-final quarter-spanning run, pushing the advantage to as many as 20 points on their way a 104-89 win that gives Golden State a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven Finals.

Without a doubt, the drive to guard home court and draw inside three wins of a second straight NBA title offered a lot of inspiration all alone, however not having any desire to make good ol' Kung-Fu Kerr significantly more angry presumably didn't hurt, either, reports Nba.

After the win, ESPN's Rachel Nichols got some information about what experiences his mind when he assaults his clipboards and whether he feels it now and then devastates something. Nichols accepted saying that it does. He added that annihilation tends to facilitate a portion of the outrage. So he attempts to take it out on a clipboard rather than a player. So it's better that way.
