SAN FRANCISCO – Coach Steve Kerr deflected questions last week during the Western Conference finals about how important the additional time off between series could be for his veteran-led and shorthanded squad.
He and the team were focused on beating the Mavericks, which Golden State did Thursday night at Chase Center to earn the franchise’s sixth NBA Finals berth in the last eight seasons.
But after having two days off, a rarity during the NBA season, Kerr returned from golfing and enjoying time with his wife, Margot, on Sunday and said the team greatly benefited from the break which allowed players a chance to recover after an exhausting few weeks.
