After the defending NBA champion Warriors were dispatched by the Lakers in the West semifinals, coach Steve Kerr addressed why he believed Golden State fell short of defending its championship.
Just days removed from Kerr saying the Warriors had maxed out their potential and weren’t a championship team, the longtime coach pointed to missing trust stemming from the training camp incident between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole.
Green punched Poole during a preseason practice and the video of the incident was leaked on social media. The team and Green mutually agreed he should leave the team for a week before the start of the regular season.
