An LA Lakers star has hit back at the Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr after he accused them of ‘flopping’.
The seventh seeded team have opened up a 3-1 lead over the defending champions in the NBA Playoffs Western Conference semifinals. Despite a triple-double from Stephen Curry, the Lakers were able to maintain their unbeaten home record in this year's postseason by securing a 104-101 win in Game Four earlier this week.
Post-match, Kerr told reporters: “We had three or four illegal screens called. That was disappointing. ... [The Lakers] took some flops and were rewarded.” Point guard Dennis Schröder issued a frank response and claimed they were responding to moves made by the Warriors he deems to be against the rules. “If they set illegal screens, sometimes you gotta show them that they are moving on the screen,” he said.
